        Verdict

        A few of these are noted for taking liberties at their fences and this is not a race to get too heavily involved with considering some of the racing that is just around the corner. Even so, Workaway returned to form last time and he has been found a good opportunity to follow up here. he looks worthy of a small investment as Vulcan Lane, Ideal du Bois Beury and Celtic Legend have all been let down by their jumping in the past. Midlem Melody is another with a chance though and he could give the selection plenty to think about. However, he will need to be on his metal right from the start if he is to ensure that Workaway does not steal an unassailable lead.
