      Verdict

      Upavon has won a couple of lower grade sprints but is upped a further 7lb, though an apprentice’s allowance negates that rise. Growl seems to be treading water off similar marks of late and the same comment applies to Windsor runner-up Pixeleen. But CARTMELL CLEAVE wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Windsor on his latest start and Stuart Kittow’s charge should be in the mix again. Little Palaver is 3lb higher than when scoring at Salisbury last year but should be sharper for a recent comeback while Bushephalus can also figure back over today’s shorter trip.
