      Verdict

      Question marks hang over most of these. Le Bacardy had every chance when third last time at Taunton but continues his tumble down the weights. Kitegen has an absence to overcome while Town Mouse has a poor strike-rate. Laser Hawk has been pulled up in two of his last three and it's hard to fancy Another Journey, who has now failed to complete in his last three. FESTIVE AFFAIR was fourth at Newbury before finding 2m4f again too far at Kempton last time. He can't get much lower in the weights and the booking of Richard Johnson is a positive.
