          Verdict

          Slemy should go well again only 2lb higher than when landing a lower grade race at Musselburgh last month. But JOHNNY CAVAGIN scored in this grade over 6f at Pontefract last week and was beaten only a length over course and distance before that when ahead of Fuwairt, Showboating and Zacynthus. He gets the vote to defy a penalty and confirm latest running with Fendale. Father Bertie is capable at this level though still looks a shade high in the handicap but Brazos continues to slide down the weights and could figure. Chookie Royale has not won on Turf since 2013 and can race off a much lower mark as a consequence but Bertiewhittle has won just the once since 2011.
