        Verdict

        G'daay is upped in class and raised 5lb after winning over track and trip but can figure again. Jilly Cooper dead-heated for first at Wolverhampton last time and should also be in the mix but it could be the turn of SPACER. The latter was having his first outing since August and making his all-weather debut when going close at Wolverhampton and David Loughnane sent out last year’s winner. Fiftyshadesofred is back on a winning mark and may prove best of the rest.
