Verdict
EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT sneaks into this off top weight after winning a higher grade handicap over today's trip at Thirsk. Ollie Pears' filly is preferred to Wor Lass, who landed a double at Ayr over 1m5f during the week and should be thereabouts again in a poor handicap. Hurdles winner Omid recorded his only win on the level back in 2012 while Redcar runner-up Noble Reach has yet to win anywhere in 19 attempts.
