      Verdict

      PROOFREADER needed only to be pushed out to score over track and trip during the week and can defy a penalty and strike again while the iron is hot. Hector's Chance went close over 1m2f here last time but steps up in class along with Lingfield winner Zambeasy. Jacob Cats is rare winner nowadays and looks high enough in the weights at present but Cerutty ended last year in good form with a second in better company than this at Wolverhampton and could figure.
