      Verdict

      Ballintoy Harbour won over the minimum trip at Newcastle in September but is 5lb higher on her return while Some Nightmare scored over 5f at Ffos Las in the same month. The former’s stablemate VENTURA EXPRESS won off a higher mark at Beverley last season and gets the vote having also scored over track and trip in the past. Vince Lombardi won over 6f at Hamilton last week and is penalised while Haydock third Late Arrival is another dropping down in distance.
