        Verdict

        In First Place is preferred to stablemate Buccaneers Cove but the drop in distance is a worry. Brother McGonagall and Breanski both arrive off the back of recent victories but the former is up another 6lb and the latter has a penalty. RINARIA’s second at Pontefract looks the best form on offer and she may be capable of holding on today on this easier track. Zehrah and Ahlan Bil Zain look the pick of the remainder.
