    Verdict

    GREYFRIARSCHORISTA has slipped down the weights and is dropped in class in the hope of ending a long losing run. For Ayman is another dropped into plating company after a couple of woeful efforts while neither Wild Tobacco nor Head Space made much impression in claiming races on their latest starts. Spitfire is best at Southwell and won a seller at that track in April but Father Fred's double at Wolverhampton came back in 2013. Laughing Rock is up against it on these terms.
