Race preview
WITHOUT CONVICTION ran out a comfortable winner over this trip at Hexham last time and that form looks solid with the runner-up (second) and third (won) both running well on their next outings. She has been hit with a 10lb rise but still looks the one to beat. Maid O'malley has filled the runner-up position on her last three starts and could do so again here, leaving Burrows Diamond and Marta Des Mottes to battle it out for third.
