Verdict
HUSSAR BALLAD won over 1m6f here in October but scored over track and trip earlier this year and looks better suited to today’s distance than Ingleby Hollow. The latter has struggled since winning at Redcar earlier while Favorite Girl is having her first start since June. Most of the remainder step up in trip including My Brother Mike, who has won over 1m2f at Newcastle, while Deeley's Double has been thereabouts over the same distance at Doncaster.
