      Verdict

      Top Power and King's Proctor look out of this with the remaining quartet all winning their latest starts. Blow Your Horn won over a shorter trip at Newcastle while Desert Friend was successful over 2m at Wolverhampton. Pearl Beach included a course and distance success in last year’s hat-trick of Class 6 victories but MURHIB returned a three-length winner in this grade a fortnight ago. He’s upped a further 5lb but can go in again with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins.
