      Verdict

      The chaser Categorical scored at Newcastle last month and will get a good ride from Serena Brotherton but it's NABURN who gets the verdict. Ollie Sangster has ridden four winners for Alan Swinbank so support from the saddle won't be lacking and his mount arrives in top form having scored at Catterick last week. Stormy Morning has won here in the past and will have no problems staying the trip nor will Goodlukin Lucy, who is just 1lb higher than when successful at Southwell in December.
