Verdict

Five of these won last time, including Ted's Brother who makes a swift reappearance under a penalty after scoring at Doncaster on Saturday. He's closely matched with ICY BLUE on Redcar running in June, however, and Richard Whittaker's gelding went on finish an excellent second over a mile here before getting off the mark at Redcar. He has the beating of Ryedale Dancer on the first of those runs and can add to his tally today. Paper Dreams has won twice this year but disappointed when favourite for a seller at Southwell earlier this month, while Bay Of Fires usually finds at least one too good.
