Verdict

GRAN MAESTRO has slipped down the weights and took advantage in an apprentices race at Haydock last week. A winner without a penalty, he's just preferred to Stockhill Diva. The latter can also race off the same mark having made the frame at Chepstow last month while Urban Space has a shout on his more recent second at the same track. It was fast ground when Tara Tywod won at Yarmouth but Ffos Las winner Unison may get involved on his reappearance.
