        Verdict

        Verluga has been placed on the all-weather and over hurdles since the turn of the year and must have every chance of adding to his sole success at Carlisle last July, while My One Weakness made the frame on a couple of occasions at Southwell over the winter. Ravi River finished a long way ahead of Bahamian Kid at Wolverhampton last November and should be race-fit but, back over a more suitable distance, we expect a big run from RA JUNIOR. The top weight has dropped to a lenient mark if recapturing the form of his fourth at Beverley last summer.
