        Verdict

        SNOW BERRY (NAP) has been running better than form figures would suggest and could be the answer to a modest handicap dropped a further 4lb. Bungle Bay wasn’t beaten far at Windsor earlier this month but Buddy‘s Beauty is less exposed and beat Apache Star at Nottingham last time. Ffos Las third Mr Pc is preferred to Malham Tarn Cove of the others.
