      Verdict

      Alfurat River made it third-time lucky in a Redcar maiden last month but the handicapper has taken no chances with a mark of 88. Richard Hannon runs two with Big Baby Bull preferred to Fox Power at the weights. Greenback Boogie is a reliable sort but fully exposed, as is Greeley. Prejudice has had just the four starts, however, and had a subsequent winner behind when scoring comfortably over this trip at Redcar. LOLA’S THEME has won on soft ground at Haydock and York in recent weeks and is likely to have conditions in her favour again. She’s clearly suited by galloping tracks and a 4lb rise is not excessive.
