        Verdict

        Gustav Graves finished well ahead of Glorious Charmer when scoring over track and trip and is penalised while Gherkin won at Kempton before going close at Windsor. Martineo won at this level here in January but RED ALERT (NAP) also drops back down in class after struggling in a Class 4 contest and Tony Carroll’s charge gets another chance on his earlier good form at the track. Capla Spirit is another with a shout though was due to run at Chelmsford yesterday.
