      Verdict

      Menai Bridge has been raised 5lb for winning at Lingfield in August though drops down in class on his reappearance. Precision Storm has been thereabouts over track and trip and finished in front of Athmad last year while Hector's Here won at the track in December and has placed in both subsequent starts. But MATCHLESS, a maiden winner for Aidan O’Brien, showed the first signs of form since joining his current yard when fourth at Lingfield last time and Ivan Furtado’s charge may prove the one to side with in this.
