        Verdict

        BENEFICIARY was sold and switched yards after last month’s placed efforts. He finished runner-up at Newcastle last time and the winner has won twice since. Porfin finished runner-up in this last year while Expert Opinion slides further down the weights but Frisky looks no nearer to winning a handicap. Bert Kibbler faded badly on his return from injury but has the past form to figure.
