      Verdict

      LOCHALSH finally came good at Ffos Las earlier in the month. Richard Hughes keeps the winning partnership intact and this looks no tougher despite a 7lb rise. Hallbeck and Tunnel Tiger are still looking for their first wins and the former has slipped down the weights but Roman Riches won on the Turf course at Lingfield in between modest efforts on the Polytrack. The remaining pair are harder to fancy.
