      Verdict

      Bibbidibobbidiboo is only 1lb higher than her last victory which came over this track and trip, though that was over two years ago. How Bizarre is only 2lb higher than when scoring over a mile here in September and he hasn't been running badly but it's about time GHATHANFAR was losing his maiden tag on Turf. Tracey Waggott's charge has won on the all-weather and would have gone very close at Doncaster on Thursday but for finding trouble in-running. Logi wasn't beaten far at Thirsk last week and has dropped to a mark he's capable of winning from.
