      Verdict

      Fontwell winner Agent Westy is no certainly in this racing off an 8lb higher mark and on a much softer surface. It’s more than three years since veteran Killabraher Cross was winning here off a 20lb higher mark and he is 13lb out of the handicap. WENCESLAUS, twice a hurdles winner including on this card 12 months ago, took a while to adjust to fences at Stratford but the penny was dropping in the closing stages and he can build on that experience here ahead of Code Of Law and the four-year-old Enforcement.
