      Verdict

      VARSOVIAN has been raised 5lb for winning over track and trip last month but remains on a winning mark. He has notched-up doubles and trebles in the past and could go close again now back in the winning groove. Foxy Forever has done all his winning over 5f so far but Seamster has won over track and trip before and ran well here last time when ahead of Rosealee. Plucky Dip’s four wins to date came over 7f or further but Bertie Blu Boy showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up over track and trip last time and is finally back on a winning mark.
