      Verdict

      Trouble And Strife has won three times this season, including over 1m6f at Catterick last time. Her young rider will need to ensure a strong gallop but it will be a surprise if she doesn’t get competitive. REFRAIN has only run on the all-weather and hasn’t had much luck in-running on a couple of occasions. He was just run out of it over an extended 1m5f last time and this trip can see him gain his first success. Dance To Paris has returned after a very long break to run two good races and probably has a bit of improvement in her but Bombero, whose two victories have been on ground with plenty of give, could have done without the ground drying out
