Verdict

BARLEYBROWN remains on a handy mark after a narrow miss here last time and he gets the vote over hat-trick seeking Woodleigh, who returns to the all-weather (0-11) in the form of his life on turf. The draw could have been kinder to Sassy Glory, but she could be dangerous if able to dominate, while Cable Beach is another to note in a competitive affair.

3	Has run well in defeat here this season, finishing third in a better race on return in March before looking a little unfortunate not to collect in a similar event here last time. He isn't always the most willing under pressure, however, Joanna Mason may be able to nurse him to a fifth C&D success. 1st Pick 3 Barleybrown Jockey: Joanna Mason Trainer: Ruth Carr J: Joanna Mason T: Ruth Carr	99	-	-	-	19%	9/2

1	Followed up his Redcar success (1¼m) with something to spare at Doncaster (1m) last time. Benefits from an ease in grade despite carrying a 5 lb penalty and while he'll need to break his all-weather duck (0-11) to make it a hat-trick, that's wholly possible in his current vein of form. 2nd Pick 1 Woodleigh (Ire) Jockey: C.

7	Sole success came under a positive ride over C&D last September and she makes appeal on the back of a season's best effort when close second off this mark at Beverley (1¼m), for all stall 1 isn't ideal for one with her style. 3rd Pick 7 Sassy Glory (Ire) Jockey: Rhys Elliott Trainer: Mark Walford J: Rhys Elliott T: Mark Walford	96	-	-	-	17%	5/1
