Verdict
Redcar third Ormskirk drops back a furlong after failing to justify favouritism at Newcastle but might find ZAIN EMPEROR too speedy. The latter was only headed close home on his debut at Haydock in a race in which Geno, who runs in the opener, was second. Bobby's Babe couldn't quicken when fourth on her debut at Thirsk and is unlikely to be suited by this shorter trip on a sharper track, though probably still has more scope than Carlisle third Indian Pursuit and Pilgrims Path.
