        Verdict

        Talbot Lad has, rather harshly, been raised 14lbs for win here over half a mile further last time and over today's shorter trip is worth taking on which we do with Venn Ottery, who gets the verdict over Steve Brookshaw's gelding and Runner Bean. The last mentioned is a consistent performer but has paid for that at the hands of the handicapper, who has raised Richard Lee's gelding another 2lbs for his latest effort. Top weight Another Joker has claims despite the burden of 11st 12lbs and is another worthy of a mention, along with Fontwell winner The Alleycat. However, Venn Ottery is hard to oppose. The nine-year-old showed improved form when making a winning start for trainer Paul Nicholls at Leicester last week. Runner-up Tollbrae was not given the best of rides that day but there is no mistaking the fact that Venn Ottery was showing improved form and, off his current mark, he looks the one to be on.
