      Verdict

      WIDAAD came up short at Brighton last week having won at Newmarket before that George Boughey’s yard remains in tremendous form. Richard R H B has done all his winning at Wolverhampton so far and the less exposed Sharpcliff is preferred having finished closer at Leicester last time. Red Derek placed over a longer trip at Chester recently but Zambezi Magic continues to struggle.
