      Verdict

      Bolister has his sights lowered but hasn't pulled up any trees so far. Knight's Reward was tailed off on his belated reappearance and stablemate Directional was pulled up on his handicap debut at Leicester. Staff Sergeant isn't getting any better while RIOR has a poor strike-rate but Paul Henderson's nine-year-old still hints at ability on occasions and that may be enough today with Rolling Dough and Up Four It continuing to disappoint.
