      Verdict

      Lord Buffhead finished just ahead of Wicked Wilma when fourth over track and trip last time but Dartrix makes more appeal than that pair on his earlier victory at Newcastle. Weetentherty scored in soft ground at Musselburgh in October but returns to action on a 6lb higher mark so MANDALAY KING looks the one to be on. He showed signs of a return to form when runner-up over course and distance last week and looks set to score racing off a 10lb lower mark than when winning at Ripon last season.
