      Verdict

      VIRNON came good in a much better race over 2m here last time. He should go in again raised only 1lb with promising apprentice Finley Marsh doing the steering. Sugarloaf Mountain makes his handicap debut having placed at Newcastle on a couple of occasions and is preferred to the veteran Ascendant, who won over a longer trip at Kempton in Feburary. Wolverhampton winner Scrafton has been well beaten in a couple of previous efforts here while Oyster Card remains winless in 17 attempts.
