        Verdict

        ATHOLLBLAIR BOY has leading claims having been beaten less than a length in a higher grade sprint over track and trip recently. He’s taken to confirm running with Katheefa and come out best. Lucky Lodge and Avenue Of Stars were both narrowly beaten in separate divisions of the same handicap here last time while Duke Cosimo won at Kempton in October and also beat Johnny Cavagin when successful over course and distance at this time last year. Capla Demon was placed in a claimer at Southwell last month with Kommander Kirkup behind.
