Verdict
It will be no surprise to see the top two in the weights fight this one out. Victorian Number found one too good when attempting to land a hat-trick at Kempton and has been raised a further 2lb for his trouble. REGINALD CLAUDE carries a penalty for last week's victory at Wolverhampton but that's negated by an apprentice's allowance. Mark Usher's charge gets the nod to follow up and confirm running with Hinton Admiral and Copper Leyf in the process. Chester Deelyte finished a bit closer last time but the remainder are all struggling at present and hard to fancy.
