        Verdict

        MR ORANGE has been in fine form all season and won a Class 3 handicap here 10 days ago. He's penalised but his rider's claim can ensure he completes a quick double. Arcavallo looks the main threat as he's gradually returning to the form that saw him beaten a neck in a lucrative auction race at Newmarket in October having completed a double at Beverley earlier. Full Intention has never won on Turf in 17 starts and though going close here last time this is a step up in grade. Zapper Cass easily won at Nottingham in May but is 9lb higher while Dirchill, who carried a big weight to victory in a lesser-grade handicap at Ayr, ran poorly at this level at York.
