Verdict

RICH AGAIN rattled-up a four-timer at Wolverhampton at the turn of the year and ran well in a higher grade than this over track and trip last time - he gets the nod racing off the same mark today. Colourbearer landed a hat-trick with a course and distance victory last week but is upped in class along with recent Wolverhampton maiden winner Cadeaux Power. Showtime Star has done all his winning on the all-weather at Southwell so far and the returning Personal Touch has recorded all three wins to date over 7f. Both Angelito and Spell Maker look a shade high in the weights judged on recent efforts.
