Verdict
ELECTRIC MISTRESS had to settle for a dead-heat at Thirsk but makes her handicap debut at a realistic level and she has more scope than her rivals. Araifjan steps up a furlong but can probably be forgiven his latest run here, though is poorly drawn again. Lincoln Gamble didn’t beat much over 7f at Redcar but Jordan Electrics has rediscovered his form since joining Alistair Whillans and has claims along with course specialist Mr Orange. Jungle Inthebungle is often thereabouts but on a long losing run.
