        Verdict

        HOWZAK defied a double penalty to land a hat-trick with last week’s victory at Chelmsford and there looked more left in the tank. Iesha scored at the same Chelmsford fixture and carries 6lb extra while Clownsman finished in front of Excelinthejungle when third over track and trip and looks a threat. Gherkin and Okaidi placed at Bath last time but the former had won here before that and can figure again.
