        Verdict

        CALEDONIA LAIRD (NAP) dotted up over track and trip last month and did well to finish fourth at Kempton last time considering he was upped in class off a 10lb higher mark. He gets the nod back in this lower grade. Rock Charm beat the re-opposing Candesta easily enough here earlier and has been placed since but Berrahri will find this tougher than the Class 7 event he won at Wolverhampton recently. The Happy Hammer was winning off higher marks at this time last year and may be thereabouts.
