      Verdict

      Perfect Blossom turned back the clock at Musselburgh last week to win for the first time since 2012. Whether she'll reproduce that effort under a penalty is debatable and FIRST IN COMMAND is preferred. He won off a 4lb higher mark last season and an apprentice's allowance further helps his cause. Passionada is back on a winning mark and should have come on for a recent outing at Leicester while Captain Whoosh has a shout on his earlier second at Nottingham. Captain Dunne continues his slide down the weights without showing any noticeable improvement.
