      Verdict

      Southwell runner-up Brosnan will find this tougher and Invincible Wish faces better opposition than when landing a claimer at the same track. But the remaining quartet all have a shout with preference for WINTER QUEEN. She just missed out on hat-trick when beaten only a head at Wolverhampton last time and can race off the same mark today. Dark War picked-up a handicap at Kempton recently and steps up in trip along with last month's maiden winner Woofie. Gentlemusic also won a maiden race back in October and the betting may give the best clue to his chances.
