      Verdict

      SINGE ANGLAIS and Round The Island both missed the break in the race won by Mr Orange at Pontefract nine days ago. The former still finished second and can confirm the form with his old rival despite worse terms. Like the aforementioned pair, Nearly A Gonna is a course and distance winner and none of the remaining trio can be ruled out in a tricky finale.
