Verdict
For Richard arrives from Bath in good form though is upped in class while Sandy Steve was placed over 1m4f at Wolverhampton during the week. Verify has been thereabouts over track and trip recently and Power Of States gets a change of headgear having run well in both previous starts here. NAKED LASS has to be forgiven a poor effort when sent off favourite at Pontefract but has been given a short rest since and the Haggas filly gets another chance handicapping for the first time.
