      Verdict

      Newtown Boy reared at the start when third here last month. He’s been dropped another 3lb since so should get much closer to winner Malangen. Keepthefaithinme bolted up here 10 days ago on only his second run in a handicap but is effectively 15lb higher today given Sean Bowen takes over the reins from a claimer. GONFALONIER (NAP) was also an easy winner over track and trip last time and may have more to offer so gets the nod.
