Verdict
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Andrew Crook's in-forn veteran LADY BABS is taken to bag a fourth victory of the season at the chief expense of the unexposed Arctic Fox who rates a big threat. Quaresome didn't take to fences at Sedgefield when last seen out but could also have a say now back in this sphere after a break.
