        Verdict

        Bobby Benton is upped 6lb for ending a long losing run with a success at Brighton in September but could still figure. Rebel Lightning and Plus Night are hard to separate having filled the places at Lingfield recently and both can race off the same marks here. But a chance is taken on CORPORAL MADDOX bouncing back as he finished third behind a couple of much higher rated rivals in a claimer at Lingfield last time and won off a similar mark at Chepstow during the summer. Glenalmond has plummeted 18lb down the weights this year but may find today’s trip too short.
