        Verdict

        Unlike most of these, PLUNDER is holding his form and is up only 2lb for winning at Wolverhampton last week. This is tougher but Tectonic failed to cope with a 6lb rise on his latest start and Yorksters Prince was well beaten in a claimer here recently having won at Redcar before that. Berlusca and Titus Bolt were both way below par last time and Royal Straight has yet to show any improvement for his slide down the weights.
