Verdict
Mark's Choice makes a quick reappearance after attracting market support when fourth at Redcar on Wednesday. Last year’s winner, Penny Pot Lane, is only a pound higher and found only one too good at Pontefract nine days ago. Gullane One is another course and distance winner while Vintage Polly beat Rebel Redemption at Hamilton, though now shoulders a penalty. Restless Endeavour won at Catterick last month while Rasheeq is back on a winning mark and has been showing signs of life lately but LADY CELIA may have benefited from a short break and can continue her upward curve.
