      Verdict

      Bossipop has early pace and has placed here off a higher mark but has a modest draw and is arguably better over 6f. GLORY FIGHTER has done well since switching to Iain Jardine and a victory at Haydock last week was overdue. He is probably still on a fair mark, despite a 5lb penalty. Kindly was caught right on the line at Pontefract after winning at Hamilton but hasn’t raced over a trip this short in two years. Fox Hill is poorly drawn and may have too much to do in the closing stages while Canford Bay turned in a shocker last time and may be in the handicapper’s grip. Van Gerwen’s win at Ripon came in a seller and he looks up against back up in grade
