    Verdict

    Inn The Bull is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark as he bids for a hat-trick and Argus is preferred having won over 1m3f here in February. WARM OASIS was narrowly beaten over the same trip here on his latest start and handicap debut. He’d won a maiden race over today’s distance before that and James Fanshawe’s charge is fancied to reverse earlier running with Stanley, who scored over course and distance in October and makes his reappearance. Winning hurdler Hazamar went close back on the Flat at Wolverhampton recently but Time To Blossom was still well beaten when runner-up at Newcastle last time.
