Verdict

Muscika won at Chelmsford before placing here ahead of Intervention. The latter has subsequently finished in front of Amber Dew back at this venue while Laheg is another winner at Chelmsford though disappointed at the same track last time. Idoapologise never figured over track and trip earlier in the week but BALLYARE (NAP) posted a more encouraging effort at Newcastle and given he won this contest last year, Lucinda Russell’s charge gets the vote.
