      Verdict

      WINDWARD PASSAGE has never run on Polytrack but scored twice in mid-summer and this is his trip. He comes out top on official ratings and can make a successful all-weather debut. Appease is now on his fourth traner and makes his debut for new connections after being beaten in a Wolverhampton seller in November. Poitin didn't get the run of the race here last month but still managed to land a handicap over 1m4f in good style. He's arrived in top form and will take some beating. Shes No Joke found 1m4f stretching her stamina last time and is better judged on her smart earlier form over shorter but Dancingwithangels has now had 33 starts without winning and is badly in at the weights.
