Verdict
Wolverhampton winner SEBASTIAN’S WISH won twice here last month to notch-up the hat-trick. He defied an 8lb rise to win by seven lengths last time and is taken to shrug off his latest hike in the weights and go in again. Lady Clitico won easily over 2m at Catterick and collateral form gives her the beating of Mr Globetrotter. Jonny Delta failed to cope with a 4lb rise at Ayr during the week and Schmooze has been off the track for almost a year.
