      Verdict

      This is even worse than the first division. Cadland Lad has had plenty of chances but remains winless and was beaten in a Class 7 event here last month. Poplar is proving equally frustrating but does hold John Ryan's charge on the form book and makes more appeal than the likes of Decisive and Nelson's Pride. BEMUSEMENT could hardly have found a weaker race in which to make her handicap debut. She's found a mile too far in her last two and is bred to be much better than the rivals she faces here.
