        Verdict

        Not many of these inspire confidence but Southwell winner Bold Spirit landed a double over 7f when scoring at Doncaster last time. He’s been raised a further 3lb while Planetaria is now back on a winning mark and should go well back on Turf. But ZESHOV also scored off a higher mark last year and having placed in a tougher handicap than this at Beverley recently with Palmerston well beaten, Rebecca Bastiman’s charge may come good again today. Rock Warbler slips further down the weights but has done all his winning on the all-weather so far.
