Verdict

Passover was bumped up a massive 16lb after romping home at Sandown earlier this month but is still heading in the right direction and it would be no surprise if he completed a four-timer. Starwatch only ran at Windsor on Saturday but Kastini goes on the short-list arriving off the back of an easy victory at Newbury while Daisy Boy and Leah Freya were third and fourth in the Ladies' Derby here last month. PACK LEADER has tumbled down the weights this year and looked to be on the way back last time at Chester. Only beaten a length in this last year off a 9lb higher mark, he could be worth an interest today.
