        Verdict

        It has taken a long time for the handicapper to drop Atlantic Affair down the weights and though she hit the crossbar at Leicester, her supporters have now endured a losing run of 18 races. Wetherby winner Call Of Duty is hard to catch right so we will row in with INCURS FOUR FAULTS. Keith Dalgleish's four-year-old ran no sort of race on his most recent start at Carlisle but he has tended to come to hand at this time of year and the stable have been amongst the winners. Nelson's Bay won back-to-back races at Musselburgh earlier in the season and he is just 2lb higher than his last winning mark. Rockwood has had fewer chances than most whilst Cherokee Princess returns from a long absence and the mare is worthy of a market check on her first outing for Michael Appleby.
