    Verdict

    Graces Quest arrives with a 5lb penalty for last week's Carlisle victory where she had a bit in hand though she's never won from a mark this high. Arrange went up 10lb for an easy victory at Musselburgh in August but ran well on her next two starts and will have needed her comeback in April. La Pulga, three-times a winner for the Charlton yard, showed his first sign of form for new connections here last month but this looks another good opportunity for THERMOSCOPE. A winner over two miles at Newcastle in October, he changed hands over the winter and reappeared with a facile all-the-way victory over the same trip at Musselburgh for which he's been raised 11lb.
