Verdict

PALING was narrowly beaten over 7f at Kempton in October but awarded the race in stewards' room. Roger Charlton's colt can make a winning return at the chief expense of Daring Knight. The latter has finished thereabouts in a couple of maiden races this year while Beauty Night also goes handicapping for the first time on his return to action. Frozen Force won at Kempton in December but has been beaten off today's higher mark since and course and distance winner Clive Clifton was well behind in this higher grade at Wolverhampton last week.
