      Verdict

      Hierarch and Mercury won Class 6 handicaps on their latest starts and the former carries 6lb extra. EXALTED is also penalised for winning at Kempton last week but he drops in class for this and should go close again given Paddy Bradley has won on him before. The remaining pair are harder to fancy as First Rebellion has done all his winning so far over shorter trips and Jonnie Skull was a long way behind Hierarch at Chelmsford a week ago.
