Verdict
ELECTIONEER landed a gamble at Southwell last month, putting an end to his long losing run in the process. He's been raised 5lb for that success, but was placed off a higher mark on the turf last year and can go in again. The once-useful Beckermet continues to tumble down the weights but has shown no signs of a resurgence yet, while Espy and Cheery Cat have done all their recent winning on the all-weather. Hot Rod Mamma and Babyshambles could prove best of the rest.
