Verdict

ABINGWORTH has disappointed of late but could be worth chancing back down in class. Roger Rarebit looked better than ever when making a winning return at Warwick but isn't an obvious type to follow up looking at his profile. Line of Descent is potentially well handicapped but is returning from a long absence.
