      Verdict

      Houston Dynimo won over a longer trip at Wincanton but is harder to fancy off a 5lb higher mark while Bobbits Way ended last season with a double but is 7lb higher on his first start since February. KEY TO THE WEST (NAP) fell at Cheltenham last week but makes a quick reappearance and has decent claims on his earlier second at Stratford. He gets the nod dropping down a grade for this. Ubaltique returns to action off a 4lb lower mark and could figure while Snowell ran well for a long way on his reappearance at Fakenham.
