        Verdict

        Theydon Thunder returned from a year off with a win at Kempton in Class 7 company but carries 6lb extra. Play The Blues went close at the same lowly level when fourth in a tight finish last time and it was also a Class 7 event that Fairy Mist won back in January. VENUS GRACE (NAP) moves in the opposite direction as she drops down a grade after a couple of good efforts over course and distance so she gets the nod. Togetherwecan never threatened at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut while Foylesideview is usually thereabouts without being good enough.
