      Verdict

      Great Expectations finished just ahead of Club House when sixth at Lingfield last week but the latter was further behind HIERARCH at the same track before that. David Simcock's charge won at Wolverhampton at this time last year and can race off the same mark as when third at Kempton on his latest start. Nifty Kier ran well over 1m2f here last week and may get involved but Claude Greenwood is upped in class on the back of a second at Kempton.
