        Verdict

        Brighton regular Flutterbee won there in September and went close again back at the same track last time. SAFIRA MENINA is preferred as she was not beaten far when fourth in Class 3 company at Windsor a fortnight ago and a similar effort could see her successful in this lowly grade. Winning hurdler Doubly Clever was runner-up off a similar mark the last time he raced on the level and Percys Princess was placed at Bath on her penultimate start though it was soft ground on that occasion.
