        Verdict

        Oriental Relation is penalised for last week’s course and distance success but has done most of his winning on the all-weather and the more progressive NOAH AMOR is preferred. The latter bids for a hat-trick having won a couple of sellers at Redcar and then at Thirsk on his latest start and this isn’t much tougher, despite a 4lb rise. Space War has won twice on the all-weather this year, including at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago, while Horsforth has been thereabouts at Newcastle and an apprentice’s allowance helps his cause today.
