      Verdict

      WORDINESS completed a hat-trick in impressive style over the track and trip 10 days ago and though raised 8lb Robert Tart's claim takes care of much of that and victory number four looks on the cards. Admirable Duque has to be a big threat with his penalty for Friday's easy victory at Wolverhampton as he's likely to be raised by more than 6lb in the future. Norfolk Sky tackled this trip for the first time here last month and, though fading close home, she was by no means disgraced and should get involved. Mohanad stays much further and hasn't been seen since August while Ascendant should do better when back over hurdles.
