    Verdict

    Terry Mills has his string in good order and his Norton has the best recent form on offer here. And if he maintains that level, he should get off the mark for the season today. Muchea still retains plenty of ability but he has become very expensive to follow. That said he may find this smaller field much to his liking and cannot be ruled out of winning his first race since August 2000. Atlantic Ace failed to build on his win at Beverley last time and now has a few questions to answer. Certain Justice is also opposable on account of the trip.
