      Verdict

      Exceedexpectations only won a claimer at Kempton last time but this isn't much tougher. It's today's longer trip that could prove a problem for him and also for the returning Kingswinford and For Shia And Lula, a close-up fourth over a mile at Lingfield last month. Resplendent Alpha is a course and distance winner but badly out of form and Sinchiroka is 5lb higher than his victory in a lower grade here in January. CABAL scored over track and trip at this time last year and off a lower mark today with Neil Farley's 3lb claim taken into account, he gets the speculative vote.
