      Verdict

      Songsmith stayed on strongly to land a conditionals' event at Kempton 11 days ago and escapes a penalty but Future Security has 7lb extra after opening his account at Ludlow over a longer trip. Another Journey ran his best race so far at Fakenham last month but may need to drop a grade before scoring and Short Takes' only victory last season came in a claimer. TEKTHELOT (NAP) wouldn't go past Central Flame at Hexham last month but maybe the drop back in distance will help. He'd won earlier at Carlisle and could be the one to be on here with neither Helium nor Grams And Ounces looking the force of old.
