Verdict
Win Lose Draw had tumbled down the weights before scoring over 7f here and carries 6lb extra today. Tellovoi has been in good form over shorter trips while Scribner Creek finished in front of Passing Star when a close-up fifth at Wolverhampton. Both Arlecchino's Leap and Deliberator showed signs of a resurgence on their latest starts but PALAWAN is now 22lb lower than when joining Jamie Osborne at the start of last year and a recent narrow-margin defeat at Kempton suggests a return to winning ways is imminent.
