        Verdict

        Candlelight is upped 6lb for winning in this lowly grade at Redcar last time but she should give another good account as she beat Belle Nellie, Winn Lily and Midnight Destiny on that occasion. BLACKASYOURHAT also had a couple of these well behind when runner-up at Goodwood last week and Mike Attwater's charge gets the vote in this dropping down a grade today. Zebelini has yet to threaten in handicaps despite sliding down the weights and both of Ya Halla's wins this year came on the all-weather.
