        Verdict

        Semser won over a longer trip at Lingfield last time but Elmejor scored over course and distance in November when BAYSTON HILL could only manage fifth. But the latter is now back on the same mark as when winning this last year and Mark Usher’s charge gets the vote to return to form. Engrave won an amateurs’ race here last month and Pledge Of Honour finished closer on his latest start while Light Up Our Stars won over 7f at Wolverhampton and is upped in trip along with Mighty Power.
