      Verdict

      STUN GUN is better known as a Southwell specialist but he did win here in September and is only 2lb higher so could be worth a small interest in a race in which there are question marks over most of the runners. Hold Firm and Mowhoob meet on the same terms as when finishing 1-2 here in March and there should be little between the pair again. They make more appeal than Freddy With A Y, who has a terrible strike-rate on the all-weather, but Kafoo should go well back over his best trip.
