Verdict

The presence of ARGAKI complicates matters as he was engaged to run in better company here yesterday. He'll carry a double penalty in this if successful, but win or lose on Thursday, Jason Hart's 5lb claim should still give him the edge in this lower grade. Bee Jay Kay posted a much better effort at Bath last time and makes more appeal than both Whitefall and Spats Colombo, who were both below par on their latest starts without an obvious excuse. The remainder have shown nothing of late and are overlooked as a consequence
