      Verdict

      Four Wheel Drive goes for the hat-trick and a fifth win in six starts but only won by a head at Thirsk last time and has another 4lb to carry. Free Love wasn’t beaten far in a conditions race here last time, despite finishing last of three, and bids for a fourth win of the campaign. Pink Flamingo continues in good form while Spoof is on his lowest mark in almost two years and could play a part but the tough LORD RIDDIFORD is rarely beaten far and can get his head back in front today.
