      Verdict

      A few of these regulars take it in turns to beat other and it was Punching who came out best last time with Riflessione and Elhamri behind. BEAT THE BELL was having his first start since September when starting favourite for the above race and finishing fourth but, with that run under his belt, David Barron's charge is taken to turn the tables here. Ace Of Spies had Charles Parnell well behind when scoring over C&D last week and is another frequent visitor with solid claims though it's anybody's guess what sort of race Jake The Snake will run despite having every chance at the weights.
