        Verdict

        NATIVE OPTIMIST scored by a distance over track and trip last month. He failed to figure in Class 3 company on his latest start but gets another chance back in this grade. Notonebuttwo rattled up a hat trick at the end of last year but has struggled in three subsequent starts while Newyearsresolution went close off a similar mark over fences here in March. Izbushka remains 5lb higher than his win at Fakenham in May and Wetherby winner Stickleback is preferred to handicap debutant The Squinty Bridge.
