Verdict

Belami Des Pictons has won both starts since arriving from France and Venetia Williams puts up a 5lb claimer to reduce his welter burden. Ballypoint also has a conditional on board, which negates the penalty he picked up for scoring at Ffos Las. KIT CASEY was also successful last time at Ffos Las and looks a real stayer in the making. The second and third in his race have both win since so the form looks solid and his margin of victory would have been greater had he not made a mess of the final flight. Banny's Lad has shown enough to suggest he'll be winning soon if not today.
