        Verdict

        Plenty of dead wood in this. BACHELOR KNIGHT stood little chance against much higher rated horses in a seller at Redcar last time and did well to finish within four lengths of the winner. He gets the token vote in a poor handicap. Coastal Passage was placed in a seller at Leicester on Monday and should be thereabouts while Ptolemy can be given a chance on his latest second at Musselburgh despite never threatening the winner. Pendle Lady and Maggie Mey have a shout on their best form of last season.
