        Verdict

        A winner at Kempton in January, BRIDGE BUILDER has held his form and should run his race again. That may well be enough to land this as collateral form gives him the beating of Not Your Call, a runner-up at Kempton last week. Captain Kendall ended a long losing run with a win over track and trip in December but has been beaten since while Secret Witness has not tasted success since 2012, though continues to slip down the weights. Fellow veteran Sunshine Always has had just two outings since 2012 so Hawk Moth makes more appeal.
