      Verdict

      Centre Haafhd took advantage of a slip down the handicap to win at Carlisle and another bold bid is expected upped only 3lb. Sartori makes less appeal after making all at Ripon given Percy's Gal was not far behind and re-opposes on better terms. Le Laitier and Faure Island are not the most reliable but have a shout off their current marks, as does COMINO. The latter started the season on a 10lb higher mark and this drop in class may see Kevin Ryan's charge finally off the mark.
