      Verdict

      Borough Boy escaped a penalty for an earlier win and took advantage at Wolverhampton on Tuesday. But he is penalised 6lb for that narrow-margin victory and it could the turn of THE WISPE today. Robert Cowell's filly finished runner-up at Pontefract last time and can race off the same mark in this. Beverley winner Point North had been in good form before a poor effort here last time while Oscars Journey has failed to figure since scoring at Chelmsford in April, though the unreliable By Rights has a shout on her earlier second at Haydock.
