        Verdict

        Most of these can be given a chance though Double Reflection is penalised for last week’s course and distance success. Fitwood Star has been raised 9lb having made a winning comeback at Wolverhampton but Ritchie Valens won off a similar mark here during the summer. MUTAABEQ hasn’t won anywhere for a while but has slipped down the weights as a consequence and this looks easier than when finishing third over course and distance last month. Bay Of Naples is upped in class but Samille has plenty of scope on her return to action.
