        Verdict

        Nobleman's Nest won a nursery at Doncaster last month but has an 11lb hike in the weights to contend with while Prestbury Park continued winning ways when successful in a conditions race at Chester. But CLUBBABLE (NAP) has been placed in a couple of valuable handicaps recently including a short-head defeat over track and trip a fortnight ago and Richard Fahey’s filly may prove good enough on that form. Character Witness goes handicapping for the first time after placing at Newcastle but was behind Nobleman's Nest earlier while Maksab won a handicap on the July course here in August and can race off a similar mark today.
