      Verdict

      Not a strong event with few seriously fancied and it would be no surprise if this boiled down to a match between Ridicule and Loughlorien who both come into this in winning form. The Tim Easterby-trained Ridicule finished behind his main market rival when the pair clashed at Newcastle last month but has since landed an amateurs event at Redcar and should give another good account off a 7lb higher mark. Kevin Ryan's Loughlorien has held his form well this term and gained an overdue success at Catterick last time although he had little left in the tank and will find this tougher off his revised mark.
