      Verdict

      Redcar winner LAILA HONIWILLOW completed a double with a victory at Doncaster three weeks ago when beating a subsequent winner. There still looks more to come form her and the hat-trick beckons for Jedd O’Keeffe’s filly. Round The Island popped-up at 20/1 at Ripon last month and has more scope than Vallarta, a runner-up the last twice off today’s mark, while Mr Orange has placed here on his last couple of outings but was behind the selection at Redcar earlier. Teetotal went close over track and trip before refusing to start at Ripon and a 7lb claimer takes over the reins for this.
