Verdict

Several of these have been knocking on the door of late. Noodles Blue Boy was beaten less than a length despite finishing only fourth at Musselburgh last time and Spring Bird went close at Catterick on her latest start. Scoreline was only beaten a head at Pontefract recently but a chance is taken on DANGEROUS AGE. The latter is looking to end a long losing run but slips further down the weights after posting a better effort at Lingfield last time and it could be his turn today. Rozene ended last season with a good effort at Newcastle and Ron Hornby's claim allows her to race off a lower mark on her return.
