        Verdict

        The penny has finally dropped with Dewala and she's on a hat-trick after victories in handicaps at Doncaster and Catterick. But she's no certainty under a double penalty giving 7lb to THERE IS NO POINT. Jonjo O'Neill's mare has a lengthy absence to overcome but that shouldn't be a problem and she's very lightly-raced. The race she won at Wetherby in May of last year worked out really well with the next three home winning eight times between them since. Promanco will have learned plenty from her fourth at Doncaster and looks the pick of the remainder.
