        Verdict

        Ayr winner Banner Road has subsequently switched to Lucinda Russell’s yard and has been raised 8lb as she debuts on the all-weather. Explorers Way and Ice Shadow won here on their penultimate starts while Whatwouldyouknow finished in front of Little Ted when runner-up at the track last week. PLINK made his handicap debut over 7f here and can figure with further improvement expected over this extra distance.
