      Verdict

      EASTERN DRAGON was ending a long losing run when successful at Wolverhampton last week but, despite a penalty, is still well treated on past form so should follow up. Candesta has been very disappointing lately and Powerfulstorm has yet to show much of note. Sixties Queen is also hard to fancy but Basingstoke has been showing up well on Fibresand and Tapeta, though his record on Polytrack is abysmal.
