        Verdict

        SMILEY BAGEL continues to defy the handicapper and needed only to be pushed out over track and trip last time for a fourth consecutive success. He’s up a further 7lb today and Dunquin has been raised 5lb after landing a double here with last month’s victory. Mazaaher found one too good last time despite escaping a penalty for an earlier win at Newcastle while Falcon's Fire suddenly found some form when second at Catterick a week ago though that was over 1m6f. Bamako Du Chatelet won over course and distance in January but hasn’t threatened off higher marks subsequently.
