      Verdict

      As a daughter of Galileo, it's no surprise that STARGAZING has improved as she has been stepped up in trip and a hat-trick of victories on the track beckons with just a 4lb rise for her latest victory. What's Up Doc won a novice chase at Southwell in July and though going well here recently it's unlikely he'll have the pace to fend off the selection. The handicapper appears to have got to grips with Black Coffee, who has gained three victories here since December but was well beaten from his new mark two weeks ago. The Winged Assasin was in cracking form over the C&D in December and his last two runs, both over 1m4f, should be completely ignored.
