Verdict

Born To Be Bad and Weld Arab are penalised for winning their respective divisions of a handicap at Wolverhampton last week. Both returned easy winners and should go well again but a chance is taken on the veteran BENNELONG, who landed a similar event over track and trip off a slightly higher mark last year. Kokovoko may do better now handicapping but Bookmaker has something to prove over today's distance having recorded both wins to date over 6f.
