        Verdict

        Lincolnshire handler Mark Buckley has done a fine job with LIBERTY SHIP this season and it would be no surprise to see another prominent effort from the six-year-old from stall one, despite him operating off his highest handicap mark for four years. Wicked Wilma is another in-form sprinter but she isn't as well drawn, though remains dangerous to ignore in her current mood. At the other end of the spectrum, Bertoliver has shown little for some time but would be very interesting off this mark if the market speaks favourably, while Lucky Numbers also looks to have been given a chance by the handicapper.
