    Verdict

    The four-year-old Fine Lace made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Hereford but the handicapper may have over-reacted in raising the filly 5lb. Benefit Game has a penalty for his win at Newton Abbot on Thursday and amateur rider Robert Hawker is still awaiting his first win on the gelding in seven attempts, while The Grey One was an early faller at Huntingdon on Monday and is still a maiden over fences. MY CONDOR has been knocking on the door again recently and remains on a decent mark - he can finally get his head back in front again here.
