The assessor appears reluctant to drop either Solvanna or Classy Trick in the weights despite both having come up short in handicap company on more than one occasion. Coversing's recent placed efforts are misleading as he's been well beaten on both occasions and collateral form has him closely matched with Silver Fawn. Foxy Dancer has shown little so far and steps up in trip, as does EXIT CLAUSE. The latter posted a much improved effort when going close at Wolverhampton last time and finally looks set to take advantage of his slide down the weights.
