Verdict
NO CEILING (NAP) won a conditionals' race in a canter at Doncaster last week. He doesn't have a penalty and Toby Wheeler can claim his full 10lb allowance today so Ian Williams' charge will have no excuses. Definitely Better had every chance when third over course and distance last month but remains well treated and has place claims again, as does the runner-up Snowed In. Danceintothelight won at Catterick two runs ago and Sendiym and Roll Of Thunder have the past form to figure. Crinkle Crags is probably better than he's shown so far.
