      Verdict

      Wootton Creek probably didn’t stay 1m2f at Brighton but didn’t look very keen and he will probably need to improve on previous efforts to grab a victory, even in this grade. John Jenkins rarely sends runners this far north so BASHARAT’s presence is a clue in itself and the Irish import shaped promisingly at Yarmouth having placed twice for Andrew Slattery earlier. Heart Throb is gradually improving and the least exposed so can’t be ignored.
