Verdict

It took Iron Sheriff 17 attempts to get off the mark and he steps up in distance after scoring at Beverley. A change of scenery witnessed SEVEN FOR A POUND return to winning ways at Ripon on his debut for Ruth Carr’s yard. This looks no tougher despite a 3lb rise and he can go in again. Sognatore returned a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton last month while Oot Ma Way finished third when last over track and trip and stablemate Little By Little makes her handicap debut.
