Verdict

BISHAN BEDI (NAP) gained an impressive victory two weeks ago and would probably have defied a massive 14lb hike in the weights last week but for getting boxed in. Compensation surely awaits here from the same mark. Tennessee Wildcat has returned to top form and carried a big weight to victory last month - a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another big effort. For Shia And Lula, who started his career in Ireland, has been running well in the UK and is no forlorn hope to add to his seven victories to date while Hilary shot up the weights after completing a double in the autumn and is gradually dropping to a more acceptable mark. Odyssey still has a bit to prove on the all-weather.
