Verdict
Here's Herbie slips further down the weights but is not the force of old. Jamessaintpatrick needs softer ground while Uno Mas is still 9lb higher than when scoring at Ffos Las in October. The lightly-raced Drumlee Watar has had wind surgery since last seen and could go close to breaking his duck but the equally-unexposed HUNTING PERCIVAL (NAP) may have benefited from a break since his third in a better race at Doncaster in March and he gets the nod.
