      In depth

      Verdict

      Tracy Waggott is a skilled operator when it comes to finding improvement from her horses and GHATHANFAR may be capable of defying a penalty for his York win in this nightcap. Rayong is respected as a winner at Pontefract earlier in the season though the going was significantly slower that what he will experience tonight. Ventura Express will attempt to back up a victory at Beverley though Rambuso Creek reopposes on this occasion and Kevin Ryan’s gelding was an unlucky loser on that occasion. Robert Cowell is a rare visitor to this track and Dynamic Force has a shout dropping back down in class.
