      Verdict

      Still unexposed, PROMPTING made a winning start for David O’Meara’s yard when scoring at Ayr recently. He returned a ready winner on that occasion and the third had earlier beaten today’s rival Proud Archi at Thirsk. The latter was placed again at the same track last time while the veteran Shady Mccoy was winning for the first time since 2017 when successful at Haydock last month and is 6lb higher. Ulshaw Bridge is fitted with a tongue-tie as he drops back down in trip and headgear is applied to Rum Baba while Soar Above has been thereabouts on the all-weather lately. How Bizarre narrowly beat Donnelly's Rainbow at Musselburgh earlier this month and Rux Ruxx is back on a winning mark.
