      Verdict

      A change of scenery has benefited ONTOPOFTHEWORLD and he was winning for the fourth time in seven starts since joining Peter Bowen in August when successful at Fakenham last month. A 2lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in this. Civil Unrest finished in front of Monsieur Co when runner-up over track and trip last month and the former has placed here again subsequently while Chain Of Beacons finished third at Kelso before disappointing back at the same track last time. Charlie Snow Angel won at Kelso earlier in the year but that was heavy ground and he's struggled since.
