Verdict
Nothing stands out here with Black Dave carrying a penalty after winning his maiden over 7f here last week. Holding Fast is proving difficult to win with while Jordanstown might need this and Vergality Ridge hasn't shown much in two runs here. KATY SPIRIT's course and distance victory last month hasn't worked out but she ran well off a higher mark here subsequently when second to Lager Time and is probably the one to beat again with We Are City, beaten in a seller two runs ago, still looking too high in the weights.
