      Verdict

      HOOFLEPUFF was winning off a higher mark over track and trip last year and a recent close-up fourth back here suggests a return to winning ways is imminent. Perthshire went close at the track last time while Lunar Shadow won at Lingfield and can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into consideration. Power On scored at Chelmsford when upped to 1m2f and attempts this longer trip for the first time.
