Verdict

It’s hard to be confident about any of this bunch with a token vote going to L FRANK BAUM. He was runner-up in a higher grade at Hereford on his penultimate start and gets the nod on that form. Fraser Canyon went close over a shorter trip at Fontwell back in November but hasn’t threatened since but What Larks won off a higher mark over fences here nearly a year ago. Mr Caffrey finished closer at Ffos Las last time and that may herald a return to form.
