      Verdict

      IRON HORSE made all and won by 20 lengths at Uttoxeter in May. It’s a worry that he’s been absent since but the eight-year-old has had only eight career starts so is probably still improving. Air Horse One usually takes on much stronger opposition and, though out of sorts, can’t be dismissed. Searching has been unable to cope with a rise in the weights the last twice while chaser Whoshotwho may be having a confidence-booster and isn’t particularly well handicapped.
