Verdict

Fat Gary is not easily dismissed despite looking in the handicappers grip and Light From Mars is capable of getting involved off his current mark. Mappin Time ran poorly here before scoring at Southwell where he beat Lexi's Hero. But the latter wasn't beaten far when he last raced over track and trip and may well reverse running. MUHDIQ is returning from a lay-off but is only 2lb higher than his latest victory on the all-weather and Mike Murphy's charge gets a tentative vote to make a winning return.
