      Verdict

      Pupil isn't out of this dropping back to a mile but Merry Me and Between Wickets look closely matched on their run together at Sandown earlier this month while Gratzie's recent wins have come at a much lower level and she's still climbing the weights. Hiking has gone up a couple of pounds since her latest second at Goodwood but she's lightly-raced and may be capable of better. We'll stick with LOCKHART after Mark Johnston's colt bounced back to form at Yarmouth. He's 6lb higher but still doesn't look badly treated.
