      Verdict

      Star Tackle found one too good in a novices handicap at Ffos Las last month and is upped 5lb but the progressive Whitsundays can race off the same mark as when second at Bangor on his latest start. DICA came up short bidding for a hat-trick at Newcastle last time but not by much and given an earlier double included a course and distance success, Paul Collins’ charge gets another chance in this. Indian Voyage won over a longer trip here in October with Oscar O'scar back in fourth and is also preferred to Dartford Warbler of the remainder.
