    Verdict

    TOOTHLESS still comes out best at the weights despite a penalty for winning easily at Fakenham on his debut for Paul Nicholls’ yard. A half-brother to the smart Sceau Royal, he can take this step up in class in his stride. Carcaci Castle defied a penalty at Kelso when beating a subsequent winner and is preferred to General Officer, who failed in a bid for a hat-trick when runner-up at Catterick. Better is expected from Lihyan on his second outing for a new yard while Dancila debuts in this code having won three times on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger.
