Verdict

Waltz Darling is a dual course winner and Tap Night has also scored around here in the past, though isn’t very reliable. Lucinda Russell also runs JUMP FOR DOUGH, who jumped for fun under Thomas Wilmott over track and trip at the start of the month and stayed on strongly – he may be capable of following up off a 6lb higher mark. Fraser Canyon had Apachee Prince behind when successful here last month and is only 3lb higher so has to be a threat but Cruachan never seems to run two races alike and Night Comes In has shown little in the way of ability so far.
