      Verdict

      ALBERT FINNEY made all for a cosy success over a mile in novice company at Wolverhampton last month and further progress looks likely over this extra distance with Ryan Moore taking over the reins. Torolight also steps up in trip after scoring at Kempton in November but has been raised 10lb and Southwell winner Whenapoet struggled last time after a hike in the weights. Headgear is applied to Wall Of Sapphire for the first time while Red Bond is another upped in distance for his handicap debut having won at Wolverhampton recently so Harvey Dent is preferred on his novice win over today’s trip at Lingfield.
