        Verdict

        Sky Khan has gone back up in the weights despite not winning and Noble Alan has been beaten off a higher mark since scoring at Carlisle. Catterick maiden winner Ruwasi ran a shocker in a three-runner affair at Pontefract last time and Aryizad's recent third came in an amateurs' race. Classical Duet drops in class but PINTRADA is just preferred despite a 6lb rise having made a winning reappearance over track and trip earlier in the month.
