      Verdict

      Choosey may have won a lower grade contest at Nottingham without breaking sweat but the handicapper has taken no chances raising Henry Candy’s charge a hefty 14lb. Ginbar has been thereabouts recently having slipped down the weights and Seen The Lyte won at Doncaster last month but a couple of these drop down in class. Galloway Hills was placed on the Rowley course here earlier in the year but hasn’t raced since June so COUNT OTTO is preferred racing off the same mark as when second to Rebel Streak in a Class 2 sprint over track and trip last week.
