Verdict
Navajo Star arrives with a penalty for her victory over the trip at Wetherby on Wednesday though she's now on her highest ever mark. Scrafton made a successful debut for Tony Carroll at Wolverhampton but couldn't find a finishing burst on Fibresand at Southwell. Fort Jefferson is much better known as a hurdler these days and won at Bangor last month but this can go to HOPE IS HIGH (NAP). John Berry's mare, who completed a hat-trick when landing a Class 2 Handicap at Yarmouth in September, hasn't been in that kind of form this campaign but this represents a drop in class and the champion jockey has been booked. Cray, a winner over this trip at Wetherby last summer, was well supported at Doncaster last weekend but didn't look suited by front-running and was well beaten.
