          Verdict

          Entertaining Ben won at Lingfield last month and is upped 5lb but it could be the turn of FIRST BOMBARDMENT today. The latter started the season rated 20lb higher and finally showed some benefit when placed over the minimum trip at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Pearl Acclaim has plenty to find with the selection on latest running while Spin Top and Red Stripes were both placed over 6f on their respective latest starts. Frank The Barber is back on a winning mark and pops-up when the mood takes him.
