      Verdict

      PORRIMA, who was in winning form last spring, showed little in the summer but has returned in excellent shape completing a double here with a bit to spare. Ben Haslam's grey has only been raised 4lb for her latest victory and a hat-trick beckons. Chosen World also completed a double on the track at the end of last year and bounced back from a poor run to be beaten just a head a couple of weeks ago but Wolverhampton winner Christmas Night hasn't run since September. Dirchill has had his last six runs here without showing much though he's now 2lb lower than his last winning mark.
