    Verdict

    GUINNESS AFFAIR has won in small fields at Hexham and Newton Abbot. He’s up another 4lb but a hat-trick beckons. Rakhine State also had only two rivals at Perth but won by 25 lengths. Heronord is more exposed as he was having his 12th start over fences when successful at Newton Abbot but he’s still preferred to A Cheap Thrill and With A Start.
