      Verdict

      There's little between these judged on their handicap marks but LIBRAN has the most scope for improvement. Alan Swinbank's charge will appreciate the longer trip having made a winning start over 7f at Musselburgh and gets the nod. Maahir looks next best on his win at Wolverhampton given Shimba Hills is making hard work of losing his maiden tag. The latter finished ahead of Lucky Visione when third at Yarmouth last time while Polytrack winner Officer Drivel has looked as equally exposed in handicaps of late and Dance Bid arrives in poor form.
