        Verdict

        Twin Point won a lower grade handicap at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and is upped 4lb while Red Paladin also steps up in class off a higher mark having scored at Doncaster recently. Corporal Maddox won at Chepstow last month but failed to cope under a penalty last time and HARWOODS VOLANTE (NAP) is preferred. The latter has slipped 9lb down the weights this year and showed the benefit when a close-up fourth at Redcar. David O’Meara’s charge gets the nod back on a winning mark with Aqua Ardens looking best of the rest.
