      Verdict

      POPMASTER is creeping closer in handicaps and was beaten only a neck at Pontefract last time. He gets another chance in a tricky contest given today’s opposition all make their handicap debuts and most drop down class. That includes Shark Two One, who landed a valuable sales race in Ireland last year while Victory Heights won a decent conditions' race at Wolverhampton earlier. Whenthedealinsdone finished third at Salisbury to a subsequent Listed winner while Seven Brothers is preferred of the remainder.
