      Verdict

      Tikkinthebox rarely runs a bad race but gets little respite from the handicapper as a result, though he goes well here. Both of Rooster Cogburn’s victories over fences have come at Market Rasen and he has gone up 8lb since the last of those while Peterborough has lost his way, though is back on a winning mark. Casa Tall still has scope over the larger obstacles but DOGON put a poor run at Worcester behind him when only beaten a neck here last month. Elios D'or won that race at Worcester but is a hard puller and was the first beaten at Stratford on Thursday.
