      Verdict

      Pockley has been raised 5lb for winning at Newcastle with Never Dark behind while Bethersden Boy has been in the mix over longer trips on the all-weather. But KIM WEXLER scored over course and distance last month and having been beaten a length when favourite in a higher grade at Lingfield last time, she gets another chance. Politics debuts for Mick Appleby and is worth a second glance.
