Verdict

Lucky Clover is penalised for winning at Chepstow last week. He beat PULL THE PIN a neck on that occasion but the latter can turn the tables on today's revised terms. Whipphound is a course and distance winner and can figure off his current mark having run well over 6f at Nottingham last time while My Meteor scored off a higher mark here last year but arrives out of sorts. Triple Dream has tumbled down the weights and finished a bit closer when third over course and distance last time.
