Verdict
Few make any appeal with a token vote going to ODDS ON OLI, who won a handicap at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and this looks no tougher. Cat Royale went close in handicap company at the same track last time and is another with a chance while Carvelas was placed over a longer trip in one of these events back in November. Kerrera won over a mile here earlier and Castelo is one of the least exposed as she slips further down the weights.
