GENUINE APPROVAL won a claimer over track and trip before finding one too good in a handicap here. John Butler’s mare gets another chance in this. Warning Light has similar form though her earlier double at Chelmsford came over 1m2f and she could only manage third over today’s trip last time. Gold Arch has won over course and distance on his last couple of visits and is preferred to Yasir, whose recent second here came over 1m6f.
