        Verdict

        Marshgate Lane does his winning in plating class nowadays though can still make the frame. Toga Tiger went close here here last time but is now 9lb higher than when winning at Chester last summer while Final remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Beverley. House Of Commons won over a mile at Southwell but failed to convince over 1m2f at Chelmsford off today’s higher mark last time and DUTCH UNCLE (NAP) is preferred. Ed Dunlop’s charge was beaten in better company here last month but just missed out in this grade before that when beaten a short-head at Lingfield and another bold bid is expected.
