Verdict

Shot To Fame and Red Spell will look to fight this one out with Shot To Fame being our selection. Coming from a yard bang in form at present the selection ran the race of his life behind Dabbers Ridge at Chester last time out and a repeat performance will surely see him be hard to beat. Red Spell will have his supporters and has been a model of consistency of late. His last outing saw him finish five lengths behind Binary File which has worked out well so he is avoided at your peril. Polar Magic enters into calculations on his form last season. Although he has not been out this year his last run was positive finishing third just one length behind Kamanda Laugh at Newmarket but the lack of a run means he may come on for the outing. So for the winner we return to Shot To Fame.
