      Verdict

      Luv U Whatever is in good form but was due to run at Redcar yesterday while Braes Of Lochalsh got the better of Question Of Faith over 1m7f here last month but has since finished behind GLENBANK KING on the track. The latter was having his first start of the year when fourth over track and trip and given he won off a similar mark here last summer Lee Smyth’s raider gets another chance in this. Akamanto went close at Chester last time and is preferred to Corton Lad stepping up in trip.
