    Verdict

    REVOLVER is not an easy ride but knows where the winning post is and he is theoretically still well handicapped, despite a penalty, as he’s due to go up another 7lb next week. Fellow three-year-old Frankenstella won a maiden handicap by seven lengths over course and distance two weeks ago while Seinesational was far too keen at Goodwood last month and is a strong stayer. Fun Mac also stays further than this and won here last year but Northwest Frontier hasn’t had much racing in the last two years and Funny Man will need to up his game.
