      Verdict

      A 6lb penalty may prove beyond Showstoppa after she returned to winning ways at Ripon last week. Kassbaan just got the better of Major Pusey at Windsor last month but failed to cope off a higher mark at Chester five days ago while Kinematic scored at the latter track last term and makes her belated seasonal debut. Seve has also been racing at Chester where he was sent off favourite last time but came up short and PILLAR BOX is preferred off his current mark having slipped further down the weights this season.
