Verdict

Restorer was engaged in the 3.40 here yesterday. Cap Francais is penalised for winning at Newmarket last week but is still on a fair mark whereas Baryshnikov is on a career-high mark after making a winning reappearance at Pontefract. Brentford Hope is back in a handicap for the first time since scoring at Nottingham a year ago but is still 8lb higher. JUST FINE has only won at Sandown so far but finished ahead of favourite Lord Protector on similar terms when second at Salisbury in September. Skycutter won over this trip at Ripon and Mujtaba started favourite for the Lincoln off the back of a winning run last year. His dam stayed further than a mile so he is well worth a try over this trip.
