      Verdict

      BAPAK MUDA bids for hat trick after scoring at Haydock on Thursday and has every chance of success given an apprentice's allowance negates a 6lb penalty. Kevin Ryan's front-runner can grab the rail from his low draw and could take some pegging back. Polytrack winner Perfect Venture should be in the mix once again despite a further 3lb rise for his recent second while Angels Calling has got her act together of late and won cosily at Ffos Las last time. Laughing Rock scored over track and trip last month and is preferred to Yarmouth winner Alhaarth Beauty.
