        Verdict

        ARGANIL totes a 6lb penalty for a recent Redcar success, 3lb of which is offset by Amy Ryan taking over the reins. That was a competitive contest on the Cleveland track and this doesn't look any more difficult, especially with the benefit of that run under his belt. Captain Dimitrios has been in tremendous form on the all-weather and rates an obvious threat if taking his chance as he was engaged to run here yesterday. He scored under a big weight at Wolverhampton recently on his first run for the Lidderdale team though he hasn't scored on turf since the summer of 2010 and the topweight is preferred. Upper Lambourn has shown much-improved form on an artificial surface throughout the winter and will be a danger to all if replicating that improvement on grass.
