    Verdict

    Miss Wolverine was engaged in the 6.10 at Beverley yesterday. Thundercloud went up 6lb for winning a lowly Redcar handicap but did better on her next start in this grade at Newmarket and is on the same mark. Farhh Away was making his handicap debut when beaten a neck at Ripon and there's plenty more to come while My Boy Sepoy is another likely improver after his Bath victory though is 7lb higher in this better class event. WHITEHALL had been looking very moderate before a much better effort in a Class 4 over 1m2f at Newmarket where he was clear at this trip. He's been left on the same mark and looks the one to be on.
