        Verdict

        It was heavy going when Herringswell won at Yarmouth and she’s 6lb higher today. INDEPENDENCE DAY is preferred having finished runner-up over track and trip last time as he looks to have finally fallen far enough down the weights to get his head back in front. The Bull was placed over 7f here in September and may also figure but Irish raider Coffeemeanscoffee remains 6lb higher than when scoring at Naas in August. Griggy slides further down the weight and Rockley Point won off a higher mark here at the start of the year.
