        Verdict

        Odds On Oli is usually thereabouts off similar marks but returned a losing favourite yet again last time. A couple of these have slipped down the weights and should soon be winning including Global Wonder, a runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago. HOLLYWOOD DREAM (NAP) is the other to consider as she wasn’t beaten far when only fifth at Kempton last time and Neil Mulholland’s filly drops down a grade for this. Rock On Bertie went close on his latest visit to this venue in November and Troop ended last year with an improved effort on his handicap debut.
