Verdict
Cinnodin won a higher grade race over track and trip last month though on slower ground. Fair Dinkum placed in a maiden over today’s distance at Redcar, with Steven Seagull well behind, but Lady Rascal is due to be raised 3lb for a recent second at Thirsk and steps up in trip along with Lionella and TROOPER BISDEE. The latter made a winning handicap debut at Yarmouth on his reappearance and, like so many from the Prescott yard, will likely improve again for this extra distance.
