        Verdict

        Only 9lb separate top and bottom weights here. Downhill Skier had Trojan Rocket a couple of lengths behind when third here three weeks ago and though the latter is 7lb better off the placings can be confirmed. He had earlier finished fifth behind Tamareen over the C&D when LASTKINGOFSCOTLAND was just in front in third place and Conor Dore's charge, despite the fact that he has yet to win at Wolverhampton, is handed the vote in a moderate contest. Loves Theme has run quite well over longer trips on her last two starts and is well enough handicapped to make her presence felt while Needwood Ridge is 1lb lower than when scoring over the C&D in August.
