      Verdict

      Like several of these, AGUEROOO has slipped down the weights. He was winning off a 10lb higher mark last year and it could be his turn again today. Merdon Castle has been back on a winning mark for a while now but will need to improve on his recent efforts on the all-weather to figure while Market Choice scored off a similar mark at Thirsk last year but on soft ground. Mr Orange went close at Leicester in October and Yeeoow scored off a higher mark at Goodwood last season.
