      Verdict

      GM Hopkins looked good when winning his maiden at Nottingham in April but hasn't been seen since and doesn't look that well treated on his handicap debut. Between Wickets is 6lb higher and up in grade after winning at Salisbury but Hatsaway should be winning soon judged on recent efforts, though did finish behind Torrid here last time and the latter is sure to have benefited from his run that day. MERRY ME is a filly in form and the handicapper may not have caught up with her just yet. She can complete her hat-trick with Thomas Brown's claim taking a chunk out of her latest weight rise. Miss Atomic Bomb and Cricklewood Green will probably find a couple too good again.
