Verdict
INSTANT REPLAY was winning off a 12lb higher mark over fences earlier this year. He’ll be sharper for last month’s comeback at Carlisle and looks to have every chance today back in handicap company. Chosen Flame placed at Kelso last time and can figure again but Wor Verge remains 12lb higher than when successful at Hexham last year as he returns to action. Imperial Icon and Velkera may do better now handicapping and the former has a recent run under his belt.
