      Verdict

      Lingfield winner Lunar Shadow came up short upped 2lb last time while Glory And Honour had slipped back down the weights before scoring at Wolverhampton. Both of those step up in trip today, as does STORMINGIN, though the latter won over course and distance earlier so Gary Moore’s veteran gets another chance racing off the same mark. Spit Spot has won over a similar distance here and will be sharper for last month’s reappearance.
