Verdict

Petomic headed today's rival Just Five in the closing stages over C&D last month but is not certain to confirm running on worse terms. Abdicate will find this easier than her recent handicap debut at Newbury and cannot be dismissed, but Botham's latest fourth over a mile here suggests the handicapper has caught up with him. However, HIDDEN GLORY has dropped to a 9lb lower mark than January's win at Lingfield. With Lee Topliss taking another 5lb off his back today, James Given's charge looks to have an excellent chance of recording his first win on turf.
