      Verdict

      ARGAUM bounced back from a disappointing effort at Newton Abbot to win easily at Bangor last week. Evan Williams' four-year-old escapes a penalty for that success and should supplement his earnings here. Kack Handed is difficult to predict and faces no easy task under top weight while Southerness, Surf And Turf and Regional Counsel may all need another run to put them straight. Dancewiththedevil has been well beaten in most of his recent starts and is hard to fancy.
