      Verdict

      WEELLAN beat How Bizarre at Ripon last month and can effectively race off a lower mark with Conor McGovern’s allowance taking into consideration. He makes more appeal than Paparazzi who is usually thereabouts with threatening to get his head in front though is still preferred to Havana Mariposa, placed in a lower grade contest at Catterick last time. Showmethedough and Prestbury Park continue to struggle but slip further down the weights as a consequence.
