    Verdict

    Marco Botti's yard continues to rack up the winners and RHYOLITE looks like providing another. He was only beaten a length at Wolverhampton last time with previous winner It's Only Business back in fourth and can open his account with a similar effort. Byroness looks a threat as she has plenty of scope having won a maiden race at Kempton last month but Black Dave has a penalty to carry and was engaged to race at this track yesterday. Blinkers replace cheekpieces on the disappointing Dream About You but she finished a length behind Napinda at this track on Tuesday when both were well beaten.
