        Verdict

        LION HEARTED has now won six of seven starts since joining Mick Appleby with his only loss coming on the Fibresand at Southwell. He has a further 5lb rise to contend with but beat Samphire Coast a couple of lengths over a mile here last week and this shorter trip is not a problem. Unforgiving Minute won a claimer at Lingfield before going close at Kempton recently and can figure while Perfect Hustler won at Ascot last summer and returns to action only 3lb higher. Quick Breath scored off a higher mark over track and trip last year and is preferred to Magical Effect as both make their seasonal debuts.
