Verdict
Captain Dimitrios won a claimer at Lingfield last week but is 10lb higher than when winning a handicap over C&D before that. Fourth placed Blown It could conceivably reverse placings on better terms, but runner-up METHAALY definitely can as he was only beaten a head and looks ready to bring his long losing run to an end. Waabel went close again last time having beaten Whipphound, Mother Jones and You'relikemefrank over track and trip earlier and has leading claims, while Consistant had landed a C&D double before a below par effort last time and could figure if back to his best.
