        Verdict

        Sparklealot placed off today’s mark over today’s trip at Catterick last week and can figure but Yarmouth winner Envisaging found an 8lb rise beyond him at Kempton last time when behind fourth-placed Martineo. The latter could be in the mix but BOY IN THE BAR has been mixing it with tougher opposition in optional claimers recently and, having been beaten only a length at Sandown on his latest start, Ian Williams’ charge gets the vote to reverse earlier running over 6f with Unabated. A winner off a similar mark at Naas last year, Omran has had wind surgery since and recently switched yards.
