      Verdict

      Oriental Relation followed-up a course and distance victory with another cosy win at Southwell last month. The hat-trick looks a distinct possibility despite a further 6lb rise but THATABOY is just preferred. The latter scored in this grade at Lingfield recently and a 9lb hike in the weights is reduced by Eoin Walsh's allowance. Expect is a course winner but disappointed when favourite on her handicap bow at Kempton and Corncockle is proving unreliable. Three Pips makes his handicap debut after scoring over 6f here but the runner-up has subsequently been well beaten.
