Verdict

Brian Hughes has a good record on veteran SLEEP IN FIRST, who is back on a winning mark and will strip fitter for his fourth here last month. Kitty Fisher easily beat Black Kettle here two weeks ago on just her third start over fences. She should have more to offer but has been raised 10lb. Ringaringarosie wasn’t beaten far at Cartmel after scoring at Sedgefield and can’t be ignored but the trip looks too short for recent Perth winner Roll Of Thunder.
