    Verdict

    Weellan finally got his head in front when scoring at Ripon but is 6lb higher today while Byron's Choice would prefer some cut in the ground. It was heavy going when Inviolable Spirit won at Leicester in April and Move To The Front has something to prove off his current mark. Outside Inside won a maiden race over today’s trip in Ireland last year but has yet to figure for Mark Johnston so a tentative vote goes to the ex-Godolphin inmate AIRGLOW, who is now with Mick Easterby and making his handicap debut today after modest efforts in novice company.
