      Verdict

      Stolen Light beat OVERBRANCH by 10 lengths over C&D two weeks ago but Malcolm Jefferson's mare is 8lb better off today and James Halliday's claim is worth a further 3lb. With the better ground also in her favour, the latter is fancied to get her revenge today. Wee George is still a maiden and hasn't shown much since finishing second over C&D off a lower mark in March, while Darkan Road and Appeal Denied have plenty to find on what they've shown so far.
