        Verdict

        EXTRATERRESTRIAL has won just the once since 2011 but has been given a chance by the handicapper here. Dropped 4lb after just failing to catch Osteopathic Remedy in heavy ground at Ayr a week ago, he may well go one better in this lesser grade. Chosen Character is another who should go well as he handles the going and arrives on the back of a win at Chester while Hayek also scored with plenty of give in the ground at Ripon last month though this race is a lot tougher. Lockantanks is another who could figure back on Turf but Barren Brook is better over a longer trip these days.
