        Verdict

        HOWZAK had slipped down the weights since landing a hat-trick at this time last year and popped-up at Lingfield last month. He looks worth sticking with in this. Brighton winner Cabeza De Llave placed at Wolverhampton last time when ahead of Mick's Spirit and Charming Kid while Iur Cinn Tra and Astral Beat drop back down to the minimum trip with a shout.
