Verdict

There was plenty to like about Faraday's run last time out, and he is nominated to score today over Marmooq and Charlie Bear. The selection chased home Joe Jo Star at Wolverhampton last time and that was a good effort considering he was squeezed for room. He is not ideally drawn but he does look the most likely winner here. Marmooq was all-out to beat Big Ralph here last time and although he should go well again today, the simple fact is he has more on his plate. Charlie Bear showed improved form to chase home Busy Man last time, but he had the best of the draw that day and he is not drawn as well this afternoon. Club Captain has a bit to prove after a disappointing effort here last time, and we will stick with Faraday to land the prize.
