      Verdict

      The choice in this Listed event is the very consistent Ouninpohja, trained by Alan Swinbank and ridden by Dean McKeown. He is looking for his sixth victory on the bounce. He ended last season with a really gutsy impressive win over Camrose at Newmarket in September and can go in again. The biggest dangers are Brahminy Kate,ridden by Kevin Darley,who really improved on his first run of the season when fourth to Hearthstead Wings at Ripon in April. Rehearsal, from Len Lungo's yard has been jumping, but ran well at Lingfield behind Sri Diamond in February. Karl Burke's Akarem looked badly in need of the race at Ripon first time out but needs to improve to take a hand. The selection though is Ouninpohja to win six in a row.
