      Verdict

      Schinken Otto won at Sedgefield 10 days ago but has failed to score in five previous visits to the track and looks vulnerable again under top weight today. OVERLAW, on the other hand, was successful over C&D only last month. Tom George's stable is in good form at present and the nine-year-old can defy a 6lb rise in the weights. Of the remainder, Nathan Sweeney's claim will aid the cause of Digital Media and My Condor will have needed his run at Wetherby and doesn't look badly handicapped. Spirit Calling won at Carlisle in March, though is much better on soft ground.
