      Verdict

      The Fresh Prince was in the lead when falling four out at Aintree then made amends when making all at Uttoxeter. He hasn't had much racing and looks the type to go on to better things. Dance Floor King has returned to his best and deserved his victory at Exeter after two fine runs there previously. He's won from a higher mark than this at Ascot and has to pose a threat. BISHOPS COURT has completed a hat-trick in small-field handicaps, including here last month. He's still only seven and can continue his progress from just 4lb higher. Daveron and Raajih are struggling and facing in-form rivals.
