      Verdict

      Alkaamel is three from three this year but has gone up a further 3lb and steps up a grade. Chelmsford scorer KINVER EDGE may be the more progressive and handled Tapeta well enough at Wolverhampton in January, despite failing to land the odds – he is the main reason James Doyle is here tonight. Hesslewood was a decent sort on Turf last year and, despite making his debut on the all-weather, may have more scope than either Loch Ness Monster or Five Helmets.
