      Verdict

      Red Yarn will be taking advantage of her drop in the weights soon but she's returning from a lay-off and may be best watched today. Beggers Belief has been in fine form with wins at Kempton in October and Wolverhampton last week and should still be thereabouts despite a penalty, but the vote goes WHODUNIT. He scored at Kempton last month with a bit in hand and Peter Hiatt's dual C&D winner looks capable of following up as Resplendent Alpha still carries a penalty for his earlier win at this track, even though he's been beaten over a shorter trip since
