        Verdict

        Balata Bay is the highest rated of these and having his first run in a seller but KNOCKABOUT QUEEN isn’t far behind according the handicapper. Tony Carroll’s filly has shown herself to be better than a plater in recent handicap runs at Brighton and Bath and it would be no surprise to see her go in again, despite the penalty. Al Suil Eile has ability but is not very consistent and House Deposit has proved a big disappointment. Jean Valjean has a chance at the weights with a 7lb claimer on board.
