      Verdict

      Liberty Red is the only one of these not stepping up in class but something went amiss with him at Carlisle last time. Dhaular Dhar was winning for the fourth time this year when successful over a longer trip here recently but is upped a further 7lb and DONNA GRACIOSA makes more appeal. She has also been raised 7lb but won with plenty to spare over 1m4f here earlier in the month and the hat-trick beckons for Mark Johnston's filly. Love Marmalade still looks a shade high in the weights and Bowdler's Magic has not won since 2012 now.
