        Verdict

        Borough Boy is up 8lb as he attempts to land a hat-trick of wins on the all-weather while Ada Lovelace is weighted to reverse latest running with Brighton winner Gentlemen on today's revised terms. Shackled N Drawn was expected to do better at Sandown last time having gone close at Doncaster before that while Stocking looks high enough in the weights but Pillar Box continues to slide down the handicap. RED STRIPES (NAP) never figured upped in class and trip here during the week but was beaten only a nose over track and trip earlier with Arctic Lynx behind. The top weight gets the vote to come good in this.
