        Verdict

        Axel Jacklin is back on a winning mark and sports first-time blinkers but finished behind Beryl The Petal when the latter was runner-up at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Rich Approach won over 6f at the same track in November while Vrai was placed over 6f here on her debut for new connections. Benji and Teodula may improve now handicapping but a chance is taken on the latter’s stablemate PICTURE POET. He’s been gelded since finishing a close-up fifth over track and trip at the end of last year and today’s drop in class could see Henry Spiller’s charge off the mark.
