Verdict
Lutine Charlie ended a long losing run with a win at Brighton on Monday. He'd tumbled down the weights before that so a 7lb penalty may not be too much of an imposition. Cyflymder pops up at this level occasionally but collateral form gives him something to find with WOTALAD. Richard Whitaker's charge was beaten a length at Wolverhampton by For Shia And Lula a fortnight ago and the latter has subsequently won again. Bladewood Girl usually finds at least one too good while Rock Band is proving frustrating off his current mark.
