      Verdict

      Waterloo Dock could have been better drawn in this lowly handicap but beat Lazy Sioux and third-placed TWO TURTLE DOVES in an amateurs' event over track and trip last month. The latter can make up the necessary ground with Lewis Stones' 7lb allowance in his favour and gets a token vote. Steel City Boy finished ahead of Black Truffle when runner-up at Chelmsford last week while Malih and Natalia continue to slide down the weights and may figure.
