      Verdict

      Goldie Hawk and Squelch were first and fourth last time and there should be less between them now on revised terms, although the former is still preferred. She's turned into a likeable, professional handicapper who always seems to run her race. Boltaway arrives on a hat-trick and the sole three-year-old is clearly on the upgrade and respected. However, the choice is DONTASKMEAGAIN, even though he gives weight away all round and doesn't have the most consistent profile. Nevertheless, he's capable of useful form at this level at his best and a repeat of his recent length second to Baryshnikov in a competitive Ripon handicap would see him go close.
