In depth
Verdict
MONTHLY MEDAL won one of these events over track and trip last week and is taken to go in again. A host of others have claims, however, including recent Mussleburgh winner Jordaura and Follow The Flag, who won an amateurs race over C&D last month. Heezararity, Pertuis and Bountiful Girl have gone close recently and are not easily overlooked but Catterick winner Phase Shift was engaged to run at Redcar yesterday.
