      Verdict

      Thirtyfourstitches has completed a course and distance double in recent weeks and a 4lb rise looks manageable. Here Comes Henry found Class 2 company beyond him at Uttoxeter after going up 5lb for a victory in this grade over the track and trip. Jumping Cats has an excellent strike-rate and completed a double when scoring over track and trip in October but has been in poor form recently while Justified makes his handicap debut. HIWAY ONE O THREE is due to be raised 12lb for a 17-length victory in a conditionals' race at Carlisle last week but can race from his original mark here so Chris Gordon's charge looks the one to beat.
