      Verdict

      Discomatic went close at Salisbury last time but RIVER WHARFE (NAP) gets another chance in this. The latter was beaten only a neck over track and trip on his penultimate start having won over 7f here during the summer. Yanifer remains 6lb higher than when landing a hat-trick earlier while both Marselan and Tellmeyourstory have failed to figure since recording earlier doubles. Sense Of Humour has won a maiden handicap over 7f though stays this far.
