    Verdict

    Jeringa is now twelve years old but has been running well of late from today's mark and should give a good account though TEERIE EXPRESS looks the one to be on. George Bewley's charge has had very little racing for his age but won twice in March last year and though not seen since April he was returning from a long absence when scoring over the trip at Sedgefield for the first of those victories. Baltic Pathfinder has a decent record when managing to stay on his feet but two falls and a poor run on his last three starts is hardly a recommendation. The ex-Irish Tooman Lane was soon tailed off on his first outing for Patrick Holmes at Southwell and may need more time and, though Toulouse Express is 5lb lower than when scoring at Sedgefield last April, he's been beaten a distance on his two latest starts.
