      Verdict

      Chat Up Line has winning form over 6f on soft ground but came up short off today’s mark at Thirsk last time so a chance is taken that GRANNY BUDGIE copes with the underfoot conditions as she won a maiden at Nottingham for George Scott’s in-form yard on her debut and should improve now handicapping. Alfa Whiteburd is another handicapping for the first time but is upped in trip along with Lochaber.
