        Verdict

        ALFRED RICHARDSON’s losing run has been accompanied by a tumble down the weights. He posted a better effort when placed over track and trip last time and may finally return to winning ways. Zabeel Star won over a shorter trip here in November but has failed to threaten subsequently while Jorgie has been well beaten over hurdles since going close on the Flat at Southwell. Both Star Dreamer and Minster make their handicap debuts for yards that have been among the winners recently.
