      Verdict

      ALBERT’S BACK makes most appeal of those penalised for winning. Mick Easterby’s charge made a successful hurdling debut over course and distance last month and may well improve past American Craftsman, who also scored here before beaten in Listed company last time. Cornerstone Lad won n testing ground at Hexham recently though Turning Gold was rated higher than the latter on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and could go well for his new yard on his first start over timber.
