      Verdict

      Nye Bevan got back to winning ways following a lengthy absence at Warwick and he should again beat third Galata Bridge if that effort hasn’t emptied the tank. Elham Valley won well at the same track five days ago and Fergal O’Brien puts up a 7lb claimer to ease his welter burden. Systemic arrives off the back of a win at Plumpton but Begin The Luck has become hard to predict. FIGHT FOR IT looked very progressive at Ludlow and can make a winning start in handicaps.
