        Verdict

        Reckless Wave has his first start since scoring at Newbury last summer but made a winning reappearance last year. Acker Bilk won over course and distance before going close again at Southwell but is upped a further 4lb while Frown makes her handicap debut after finding a Godolphin hotpot seven lengths too good at Chelmsford. But ICE CANYON gets another chance to finally open his account having tumbled down the weights last year and going close the last twice.
