        Verdict

        Paul Midgley has three entries with recent Thirsk and Doncaster winner Art Obsession possibly the best of them. It was a claimer that Michele Strogoff won at Chester and he'll find this tougher while last year's winner Mishaal disappointed in a lower-grade handicap here last time. AVON BREEZE (NAP) has an excellent strike-rate and gained the ninth victory of her career when landing a similar class handicap here recently. She's only 4lb higher and Lewis Edmunds can steer her to another success. Highland Acclaim won a lesser-grade handicap at Epsom, where he excels, and is also up 4lb but the consistent Bossipop is just 2lb higher than his last winning mark.
