Verdict

Cross My Heart will probably start favourite here off the back of her third at York. This stiffer track should help but BAPAK PESTA has shown definite signs of ability and was well backed over 6f here last time. Reverting back to the minimum shouldn't be a problem and Kevin Ryan's colt gets the nod to make it third-time lucky with Another Claret failing to improve on his debut third at Redcar at Thirsk next time. Teetotal and Modern Lady are probably the pick of the remainder but both are already starting to look exposed.
