        Verdict

        Breathoffreshair had been well placed to land a hat-trick here in November but failed to cope with a 6lb rise last time. Kingstreet Lady was runner-up at Southwell recently but has just the one win in 26 outings while Alfonso Manana has only won a claimer so far. Not for the first time, PICKS PINTA came up short over 7f on his latest start but he’d gone close over today’s trip at Wolverhampton before that and gets the vote in a poor handicap racing off the same mark today.
