      Verdict

      COMBINE has placed in both starts since scoring over today’s trip at Wolverhampton. The return to Polytrack is not a problem and Hugo Palmer’s charge is preferred to Beverley maiden winner Lord Of The Alps. Licit remains 10lb higher than an earlier success at Haydock while Casa Loupi looks no nearer opening his account and Hotspur Harry has switched yards for his handicap debut having failed to win in four outings in Ireland for Joseph O’Brien.
