      Verdict

      A tight-looking handicap in which only Mercy Me seems likely to struggle. Master Of Speed looked much-improved when scoring over 1m2f on his reappearance at Sandown. A further step up in trip should also suit Pontefract winner Lilian Baylis. Putting Green and Dark Wave are eased in grade while Moruadh can be forgiven her run at Chester where she was hampered. SWAHEEN has been raised 10lb for an easy win at Ripon but still looks better treated than Chelmsford scorer Scrutinise and can follow up.
