Verdict
WANEEN is upped in class off a 7lb higher mark as he bids for a treble. But nothing looked like catching him at Chelmsford last time and Josh Doyle’s allowance negates most of the rise in the weights. Mysterious Look dead-heated for first with Pensax Lad at Nottingham last month but the latter has been beaten since, though Royal Mezyan remains on a winning mark despite a 4lb rise for scoring at Newcastle. Taajub went close at Brighton and has won off higher marks before while Coiste Bodhar’s last three wins on the all-weather have all come at Southwell.
