      Verdict

      Sufi makes a quick return to action after a fair run in a Wincanton handicap on Sunday though he doesn't win very often. Stable companion King's Proctor hasn't won a race since 2017 and though normally consistent was beaten 15l when third of four at Worcester. Voodoo Doll, four-times a winner over timber, is on a long losing run but has dropped to a mark he should be capable of winning from. SOUL ICON completed a double with the minimum of fuss at Exeter and a 6lb rise is unlikely to prevent a hat-trick.
