      Verdict

      Several with claims on recent form though TREVITHICK is the least exposed and has been raised only 2lb for winning over track and trip at the start of the month. That looked a tougher race than the one Rey Loopy finished second in recently and Bryan Smart’s charge can go in again. Blame Culture also won on his latest start but that was a novices' race over 7f at Wolverhampton and he was beaten in handicaps before that while Testa Rossa remains 6lb higher than his win here in September and ran below par last time. Brittanic is not badly treated but is unpredictable and headgear is applied for the first-time.
