      Verdict

      The progressive CARIBENO landed a four-timer with a recent victory at Newcastle. A further 4lb rise is negated by an apprentice’s allowance and there should be more to come over today’s distance. Jen's Fella was narrowly beaten over track and trip last time but is upped in class and Chocolate Box makes more appeal on last month’s second in this grade at Kempton. Bird For Life is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his her best and is preferred of the remainder.
