Verdict

DILLARCHIE returned to form when runner-up at Catterick on her latest outing, beaten only by one who has scored again since, so she could be set to gain a second C&D victory from 6 lb below her last winning mark. East Eagle was suited by the step back up in trip when successful at Catterick last time and isn't taken lightly, with King Casey also one to note.

7	Without a win but made the frame in a Market Rasen handicap in June and ran close to that level when third at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) 13 days ago, the conditions just seeming to take their toll. Merits consideration from his current mark with cheekpieces added. 3rd Pick 7 King Casey (Ire) Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Joanne Foster J: Brian Hughes T: Joanne Foster	99	-	-	-	23%
