      Verdict

      There is little between Compton River and Horsforth on collateral form though the latter is returning from an absence. BAHANGO won under Lewis Edmunds over track and trip in January and the latter is back on board for this. He went close again at Wolverhampton last week off today’s mark and is preferred to Top of The Bank, who won a lower grade contest over 6f at Wolverhampton last time. Ambitious Icarus was behind Horsforth at Nottingham in November but re-opposes on better terms.
