Verdict

Likeable mare CREDO justified good support when making it 2 wins from her last 3 starts equipped with a visor/under Harry Cobden at Carlisle last week and she could be the answer under a penalty in this sort of form. Fellow in-form 10-y-o Northern Poet arrives in search of the hat-trick and is feared, with Two For Gold, who landed this race 2 years ago, another worth a look back from a break.

  1. CREDO (IRE)
  2. NORTHERN POET (IRE)
  3. TWO FOR GOLD (IRE)
