      Verdict

      Sloop Johnb had Elhamri behind when third at Southwell last week. Both are perfectly at home on Polytrack but the former is the more consistent and is fancied to confirm superiority. Ingleby Star and WEET A SURPRISE are similar in that both are having their third start after a lay-off and have dropped down to winning marks. However, James Unett's mare has the better record here with five wins and looks to have the edge. Clifton Bridge is struggling at present and Avonvalley is up against it on these terms.
