        Verdict

        ESSPEEGEE landed an amateurs’ race at Newcastle last month to record a four-timer. He’s been raised a further 4lb but is worth sticking with in his current frame of mind. Amadeus Rox has placed off similar marks on the Flat before and is fit from hurdling while Ginger Lady is the least exposed and steps up in trip for only her second start handicapping. Bartholomew J has been hinting at a return to form with a couple of better efforts lately while Smiley Bagel is now back on a winning mark.
