      Verdict

      Weekendatbernies has been placed over a mile at Windsor on his last couple of starts and is not certain to appreciate the drop in trip for his handicap debut. ROYAL CONNECTION is preferred as she was left to come home in her own time once her chance had gone in a three-runner contest at Windsor but had scored over today's shorter trip at Brighton earlier. Bishan Bedi is facing tougher opposition than when winning a Leicester seller a fortnight ago and the unexposed Racing's Dream may prove a bigger threat now handicapping.
