        Verdict

        Everything Simon Walker gets on board in these races has to be given the utmost respect and ADDIKT looks another winner for him. Michael Scudamore's charge, a dual Kempton winner, ran very well on his hat-trick attempt at Leicester and this looks an easier target. He had Lady Lam behind in one of those Kempton victories and should have the edge over Sylvester Kirk's mare again while Mustajed, who won a similar race over the C&D last May, has been out of form so far this season. Fitz is reasonably consistent and though never having raced beyond a mile in 21 starts has been looking as though this trip would suit in his most recent races.
