        Verdict

        It could pay to stick with ELEUTHERA in his current form. He won a maiden race at Southwell before returning a cosy winner over track and trip on his handicap debut and a 7lb rise may not be enough to halt his progress. Upstaging went close at Kempton on his reappearance while Merhoob won a maiden at Lingfield last time giving plenty of weight to younger horses. Penny Dreadful has a shout on her recent second over course and distance and Vallarta should be sharper for last month's outing at Southwell.
