Verdict

The veteran Pactolus has ben stuck on the 13-wins mark since completing a double in Class 2 company here back in January last year. PLANTADREAM scored over Ascot's straight mile in September and has subsequently been staying on over that trip in Class 2 company. He's given another chance to stay the extra and can concede weight all round. Kryptos was making his all-weather debut when scoring over slightly shorter at Wolverhampton last week for which he has a 5lb penalty. Yes My Boy led for a long way in that event and only succumbed close home so must have a chance of reversing the form on the revised terms over this quicker surface. Fantasy Believer is raised the same amount for landing a Class 4 at Kempton while Sha La La La Lee's recent victory came at a lower level at Wolverhampton and he's 4lb higher
