        Verdict

        Risk 'N' Reward won a seller at Redcar during the week but will find this tougher under a penalty while Abbotsfield won her maiden over track and trip in August but was well beaten in a handicap subsequently. Henando Torres ended a long losing run with a win at Wolverhampton last time and stablemate Old Man Clegg remains 6lb higher than when scoring here in September. Hagree has tumbled down the weights in the last year and could bounce back at any time but a speculative vote goes to the returning ADVANCE, who is less exposed than most and was placed in all four starts last year.
