Verdict
GENESIUS scored at Goodwood in June and was only 3lb higher when winning again at Wolverhampton last week and can defy a 5lb penalty. Iolani gained the ninth victory of his career with a convincing success at Carlisle so looks to have got away lightly with a 3lb rise. The Dancing Poet won over the course and distance last summer but had been running poorly before a shock success at Thirsk while none of the remainder can be dismissed.
