      Verdict

      Smith bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins though is upped in class and raised 8lb for his latest success. CHOCOLATE BOX is preferred as he won a higher grade contest at Chelmsford in November and will find this easier than when third at Wolverhampton earlier in the week. Beat The Breeze is a winner over 1m6f but tackles today’s trip for the first time. Of the others. bumper winner Independence is preferred to Vorashann as both return to the Flat.
