      Verdict

      General Tufto's winning run came to end under a penalty last week and he's up a further 2lb for his earlier victories. Sooqaan also failed to cope with a 6lb rise for December's course and distance win and Royal Holiday is 5lb higher than when scoring here in November. Bainne finished ahead of Burnhope over 7f last month but both have something to prove over this longer distance, so the vote goes to DHA CHARA (NAP). The latter was having only his second start since April when third over track and trip last time and should be spot on for this.
