        Verdict

        Diligent Lady has been raised 4lb for winning at Lingfield while Ventura Lightning beat Futuristic when scoring at Newcastle last month though both have been beaten subsequently. Spartan Fighter and Heer We Go Again are others successful on their penultimate starts while headgear is applied to El Hombre, who found SUN POWER too good over track and trip in December. The latter has been competing in Class 3 company since then and gets another chance back at this lower level.
