Verdict

The Hulk is penalised for making a winning debut over track and trip and TOUCHWOOD can make the most of the weight concession. The latter was second over 7f last time but was beaten only a short-head over course and distance earlier and is also preferred to Mummy Bear on that form. Pinball Wizard and and stablemate Breath Of Sun are both related to winners though the latter has the speedier pedigree.
