        Verdict

        Mr Potter’s winning form has been over shorter trips than this and Dor's Law is preferred on her close-up fourth here in January, Touch The Clouds scored over course and distance in the same month but that was his first success since 2013 and he’s been beaten since. HOW’S LUCY has yet to win anywhere but was beaten less than a length off a similar mark here at the end of last year and it could be her turn today with an apprentice’s allowance helping her cause. Both Ok By Me and Excellent World finished a bit closer last time and look best of the rest.
