      Verdict

      DARK AND DANGEROUS has won three of his last four starts over course and distance. He only won by a narrow margin ten days ago but drops down a grade for this and can defy a further 5lb rise. Aza Run won for the first time in twelve attempts over hurdles under today’s conditional at Leicester last month and Toola Boola’s only success so far over timber came over track and trip in 2015 but she still remains 7lb higher. Endeavor won three times during the summer last year and is back on a winning mark and is preferred of the remainder.
