      Verdict

      Mr Orange is something of a standing dish here but not the only course and distance winner in the line-up, though he’s potentially well treated and did nothing wrong at Ripon last month. Socialites Red won over 5f here last month, with Highly Sprung third, and has been in good form over this trip at Southwell so can’t be ignored. But we’ll take a chance on ROUND THE ISLAND, who is back on a winning mark and is sure to strip fitter for his run here last month. Seen The Lyte is tried in a hood after finishing third at Redcar but looks a few pounds too high at present.
