        Verdict

        Only a neck separated Sailthisshipalone and APIARIST at York. The latter was making his debut that day and is 2lb better off so a form reversal is a distinct possibility. Sonmarg only won by a head at Windsor and has a 6lb penalty to overcome. Conor Beasley rode Carvalhal at Newcastle but now switches the stable’s debutante Liz's Kitten, who is a half-sister to three winners. Paborus’s dam won over 5f & 6f so it’s a surprise to see him make his debut over this longer trip.
