        Verdict

        The way FYODOR won last time you'd be hard pressed to say that 7lb extra would stop him here so we will take him to follow up at the main expense of Diriculous and perhaps Maltese Falcon. The selection dotted up by what looked plenty more in hand than the official two length margin suggested, with today's opponent Biniou second, and facing a tough task trying to reverse those placings. Diriculous loves it around here, with two course and distance wins to his name, and the Terry Mills-trained gelding has gone close twice since one of those successes, so we expect to see him bang there despite being raised 3lb to a career-high mark of 100. Maltese Falcon is a Lingfield specialist making his Great Leighs debut and he has won from marks higher than this in the past, so if he handles this track then he should be involved from his current rating, though as another going up for a defeat he is not one to lump on. Beat The Bell looks to be too high in the weights for now and preference is for Fyodor
