        Verdict

        STRIKEMASTER won an amateurs race at Thirsk over today's trip before taking on better company over track and trip and only managing fourth. This is easier and he's taken to reverse latest running with Danceintothelight. The latter keeps finding one too good and Sheila's Castle makes more appeal off her current mark. Northern Acres and Iron Butterfly both won over hurdles early in the year but Red Eyes has the more recent form over timber with a win at Sedgefield last month and could prove a bigger threat.
