      Verdict

      Liverpool Knight won easily over today’s trip at Wolverhampton recently though is upped in class carrying a penalty today and MARSHALL PLAN is preferred. The latter ran his best race so far when last seen over today’s distance and beaten a head at Yarmouth. Roseabad won over 1m6f at Carlisle earlier while Bascule and Napper Tandy scored over 1m4f on the all-weather and Ace Rothstein won over 1m2f at Pontefract.
