      Verdict

      Breakable is still improving judged on last week's win a Catterick. She should confirm running with Queen Aggie upped only 2lb but a chance is taken on TEA GOWN coming good. The latter has had just the couple of starts for Paul Midgley since leaving Andre Fabre in France and looks capable of winning off her current mark having finished a close-up third at Carlisle last time. Pretty Bubbles is usually thereabouts without winning and it was business as usual when second again at Brighton, though she did finish ahead of Bridie Ffrench. Lil Sophella scored at Hamilton recently but is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark for this.
