Verdict
BIRDMAN finally took advantage of a tumble down the weights when scoring at Thirsk last week. He won off a 13lb higher mark last year and can shrug off today's penalty and can go in again. A 5lb rise proved too much for Gold Club to cope with last time having landed a double on the all-weather before that but Know Your Name won off a higher mark at Newbury last term and could be in the mix. Regal Bond is handicapping for the first time after three starts at Wolverhampton and is the least exposed.
