      Verdict

      BYFORD defied a penalty at Wolverhampton to complete a double in novice company. He has scope for further progress now handicapping and is preferred to Crimewave. The latter won over track and trip last month but is upped in class for this. Oslo beat Charlie Arthur at Chelmsford back in December though ran a shocker here last time and the latter re-opposes on better terms. Nonios and El Ghazwani are struggling at present.
