Verdict
GIN IN THE INN returned a clear winner on her reappearance at Redcar and can go close again having won over track and trip last season. Bounty Pursuit landed a double on the all-weather earlier but has yet to score on Turf but Newstead Abbey has shown a bit more lately having tumbled down the weights in the last year. Racquet is not badly treated and will no doubt be winning later in the season having joined Ruth Carr but Aguerooo still looks high enough in the weights. Still On Top hinted at a revival on his return and is thrown in on past form.
