      Verdict

      There's little to choose between R WOODY and Athwaab on their running at Kempton and preference for the former is only nominal whilst cases can be made for a number of the others including Point To Prove. Athwaab finished just a neck and a nose in front of R Woody at Kempton and clearly has a race of this nature in her and it may well come on her first visit to Wolverhampton. However, we're going to take a chance with Linda Jewell's runner who may be open to further improvement after just one run in handicap company. He coped admirably with a huge rise in the weights following his maiden win and could be better suited by the demands of this circuit than Kempton. Point To Prove is having his first run for a new yard from a 4lb higher mark than when winning at Southwell so may be best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. Magenta Strait needs to improve whilst Mrs Boss, Lewyn and Silver Linnet all have something to prove at present so a chance is taken with R Woody.
