      Verdict

      LE COEUR NET was conceding 15lb to Finnegan's Garden when beaten just over a length at Fontwell in March and will be 12lb better off with jockey claims taken into consideration. That should easily be enough to reverse the form and he made an encouraging reappearance at Ffos Las last weekend unlike Mortens Leam, who was beaten a long way at the same meeting. Virnon has been looking high in the weights since scoring at Southwell in December and blundered his way around Fakenham last month but Duhallow Lad beat the selection out of sight here in March of last year but never looked like winning on his reappearance at Fontwell. Bad Boy Du Pouldu was engaged at Fontwell yesterday.
