Verdict
Arabian Oasis only won by a head at Market Rasen but, as that was a conditionals’ race, he escapes a penalty. There is probably still more to come from Druid's Folly and Stick To The Plan but Black Ivory was beaten when favourite at Kelso after winning at Hexham and Uttoxeter and now has a bit to prove. Starplex went up 10lb for winning at Newcastle but course and distance winner Buckled could figure if in the mood. TWIST ON GINGE has been racing over further but was placed twice in bumpers so should have the speed for this. His yard has enjoyed some success with similar types at this meeting in the past.
