      Verdict

      Even in this lowly grade it's hard to fancy Gotasinggotadance. New Rich is 0-19 on turf while Castle Talbot has been racing over much further. Knight Of The Air was second at Bath on Saturday but that was quite a rough race and may have taken its toll. HAWK MOTH is a regular here and can use his experience to defy a penalty. He's won three times over course and distance, including on his latest start, and beat Mrs Warren three runs ago.
