In depth

Verdict

United Nations looks the best option in a tricky claimer, Sion Hill and Weet Yer Tern could provide most danger. Noel Wilson's charge had some decnt enough form last season, including a game success over subsequent handicap winner Bennadonner. He looked on the way back to form last time behind Webbow in a competitive Thirsk handicap and this looks easier. Weet Yer Tern has a bit to find on official ratings but is a solid enough performer at this level and could go well at decent odds. However a bigger threat could be Sion Hill. John Harris's runner showed improved form in a maiden last time out and with the in form Andrew Elliot on board a big run is exoected. It is hard to fancy much else in a poor contest and United Nations should be capable of landing first prize.
