        Verdict

        HENRIK is penalised for winning at Chepstow two runs ago but an apprentice’s allowance helps on that score. Andrew Balding’s colt found only one too good in a tougher contest at York last time and is taken to reverse earlier running at Lingfield with Rommel. The latter has placed in handicaps subsequently while Baba Reza has been thereabouts over 6f recently and Power Thrust debuted over the same trip at Yarmouth and is fitted with headgear today. Night Force is preferred to Twist And Turn of the newcomers.
