      Verdict

      ALEXANDER JAMES bids for a hat-trick having finished well ahead of the re-opposing Headingley when scoring at Wolverhampton. Mick Appleby’s charge looks worth sticking with raised only 3lb. Chance has gone up the same amount for winning over a mile at Kempton in November though has yet to race over this far while Deal A Dollar drops back down in distance looking to end a long losing run. Habit Rouge will be sharper for last week’s comeback and has a shout on last year’s best form.
