      Verdict

      Wadacre Sarko carries a penalty and is upped in class after scoring at Beverley last week and Pertuis will find this tougher than the ladies race he won at Ripon last time. Schmooze is 4lb higher than when scoring over track and trip last month but should go well while Brigadoon is not without claims having slipped down the weights. But another chance goes to ALEKSANDAR as he won' t be too inconvenienced by today's shorter trip after a short-head defeat at Musselburgh on his latest start in a higher grade handicap.
