      Verdict

      Java Rose has her first start since October and looks vulnerable under top weight. Bold Conquest has his first start for Stuart Edmunds and has been chasing but Halling's Wish is eased in grade and tried in blinkers and Kublai should be winning soon. Shadarpour is best watched, however, having apparently lost his way. MALLER TREE has cashed in on a lenient mark lately, winning at Newton Abbot and Huntingdon. He races off the same mark as when successful at the latter track on Monday and should complete his hat-trick.
