      Verdict

      Puckle put a frustrating string of placed efforts behind her to win at Nottingham last week but carries 5lb extra. Yukon returned a disappointing favourite in a seller at Leicester a week ago while Broken Rifle has switched yards since finishing fourth at Bath last time. BIT OF A QUIRKE won a tougher contest at Leicester last month and finished runner-up in soft going on his latest start. He gets another chance in his current form back on faster ground.
