Verdict
A couple of these bid for hat-tricks from the opposite ends of the handicap. Bogsnog is up 4lb for winning on his handicap debut at Newcastle while Hit The Lights has been raised the more usual 6lb for his latest victory at Pontefract. Antonio Gramsci was hit with a 9lb rise having won on his handicap bow at Musselburgh over the minimum trip and Penny Garcia remains 10lb higher than for her victory over track and trip last season. HEAVEN'S GUEST is preferred as he's been set a couple of difficult tasks this season and can take advantage of today's drop in class. Red Joker is better than his poor reappearance effort suggests and should finish closer here.
