      Verdict

      Festive Affair has a penalty for his victory in a lower grade at Ludlow 11 days ago. Abidjan still isn’t foot perfect but was closing on Doitforthevillage here last month, though was raised 6lb for that. ARTIFICE SIVOLA is getting little respite from the handicapper but has had his excuses over fences since completing a treble over hurdles and should give supporters a run for their money if allowed an easy lead. Gabrial The Great still isn’t firing while Dream Bolt has looked in the handicapper’s grip lately.
