      Verdict

      Nortonthorpe Boy looks up against it returning to 6f but the remainder can all be given a chance. Shalaa Asker returns from a lay-off having gone close at Lingfield on his only previous start in a handicap while The Hulk won a lower grade contest at Wolverhampton last time and Elusive Treat scored in this grade at Kempton. But TWILIGHT HEIR (NAP) was having his first outing since October when landing a tougher sprint than this on last month’s all-weather debut at Lingfield and Michael Bell’s charge may edge affairs with more to come on this surface.
