        Verdict

        Five of these were successful on their latest starts, although Illustrious Prince's win came back in November. Khajaaly ended a long losing run here last month and Hillbilly Boy took advantage of favourable terms to land a seller over track and trip on his latest start - both will find this tougher however. Powerful Pierre bids for his fourth course win in his last five outings after scoring over 6f a week ago. He's upped a further 5lb and CARAMACK has been raised the same amount having recorded a double with a recent victory over course and distance. But Richard Lee's charge won more cosily than the narrow winning margin would suggest and the hat-trick beckons.
