    Verdict

    Iconic Belle only beat one home at Chester on Saturday and is almost certainly in the handicapper’s grip now but Let Me Be continues to defy the assessor and was winning for the fifth time in six starts this year at Pontefract eight days ago, though that was over a much longer trip and he now carries a penalty. Sarvi has run over hurdles since second here last month but this can go to the three-year-old SILVER SHADE (NAP), who is eased in grade and got upset at the start prior to finishing last behind stablemate Dancing King at Doncaster on his latest outing.
