        Verdict

        Dubawi Island returns to action off a 6lb higher mark having won at Fontwell in March and Ascendant has won over 2m here but is 5lb higher than February's success. Leaderofthedance has the more recent form with a win over course and distance last month but is upped a grade so HERE'S HERBIE is preferred. The latter was beaten less than a length when third at Cheltenham last week and a similar effort should see Sue Gardner's charge go close. Discay looks best of the rest off his current mark with a recent run at Chepstow under his belt.
