      Verdict

      Welliesinthewater has been raised 5lb for winning at Doncaster and Ghayadh has gone up the same amount after scoring at Carlisle. Jupiter was beaten only a neck when third over a mile at Windsor while Magwadiri won twice in Ireland but is 10lb higher than last month’s success at Roscommon as he debuts for new connections. Mamillius scored off a higher mark over track and trip last season but PLUNGER (NAP) is less exposed and after a decent effort at Ascot last time, Paul Cole’s colt may prove good enough in this.
