        Verdict

        Tangramm ran well at Wolverhampton a week ago and scored over track and trip before that with Wimpole Hall in close attendance. Both can be given a chance in this with the latter slightly better off at the weights but another chance goes to HAIRDRYER. Andrew Balding’s charge has notched up a frustrating string of placed efforts since winning a maiden here and can finally get his head back in front. Dutch Uncle finished in front of Maifalki here last month and the latter has subsequently been placed at Southwell.
