      Verdict

      Andrew Thornton got a tune out of the recalcitrant Forest Rhythm at Fontwell last month and the weighing room veteran is back in the saddle today. But the eight-year-old rarely runs two races alike and it's hard to see him conceding 22lb to the four-year-old DRAWN FREE. Colin Tizzard's novice had the more exposed Marie Deja La behind when scoring easily over C&D two weeks ago and should have plenty more to offer. Action Impact hasn't matched last season's efforts so far this term and Wheres Johnny races for the first time since last March, though tends to run his best races here.
