Verdict

Exclusive Waters is penalised for last week’s course and distance success in an amateurs race while Paddy's Rock was winning for the first time since 2014 when scoring over 1m4f at Doncaster. Viewpoint is another dropping back in trip after scoring at Wolverhampton while Desert Ruler steps up in distance on the back of placed efforts over a mile. Canberra Cliffs is in good form and drops back down in class but MYSTERIAL (NAP) won off a 9lb higher mark over course and distance under today’s apprentice last season and a better effort at Beverley last time points to a big run here.
