      Verdict

      Straight Ash beat Lion's Vigil a length-and-three-quarters over course and distance earlier this month but the runner-up is now 3lb better off so there shouldn’t be much between the today. Termonator has won here but hasn’t raced at the track since May 2019 and tries a new trip. PEERLESS PERCY is 0-10 and was more than two lengths behind Grimsthorpe Castle here in November but he enjoys an 11lb turnaround in the weights and he probably didn’t stay 1m6f at Wolverhampton last time. Sea Art is hard to fancy on his form at the end of last year.
