        Verdict

        Most of these are struggling at present though perhaps Disco Dale will do better over this longer trip now handicapping for the first time. But a couple stand out on recent form with The Yank going close at Kempton on his return from a lay-off and first start for Tony Carroll. He should be in the mix once again but THOMAS BLOSSOM is just preferred, The latter scored over 1m4f at Kempton last month and can defy a 4lb rise in this extremely modest company.
