    Verdict

    DR RICHARD KIMBLE beat three rivals in a Class 3 handicap at Pontefract and though running poorly there last time that was over 1m2f and this is his trip. His stable companion The Lincoln Lawyer, who ran a shocker here last time, looks a handful and though Ad Libitum easily won at Class 5 handicap at Carlisle he failed to cope with a 6lb rise back there and is up another 1lb. The maiden Eyecatcher found 1m6f stretching his stamina at Sandown and is better judged on a narrow defeat at around this trip at Haydock earlier.
