      Verdict

      Humble Gratitude made all to win over 7f here in June and is 5lb higher today while Ayutthaya was well beaten in a handicap before making every yard to land a novices' event at Thirsk back in April. Addis Ababa has returned a losing favourite in a couple of novice events while ETEFAAQ started the year on a 9lb higher mark. Richard Hannon’s charge drops down a grade for this and may well improve for the extra furlong. It was soft going when Falmouth Light won over 1m2f at Doncaster and Rhosneigr is preferred over today’s trip and fast ground.
