Verdict

Nowator, Fast Mix and Wood Street look the ones to concentrate on in another wide open affair and we will side with Fast Mix. The gelding from the Martin Pipe yard is well weighted on his best form and now he takes a drop in grade he is taken to score. Nowator rates the main danger on his latest second behind Saafend Rocket and with conditions again in his favour he will not be far away. Wood Street would be hard to beat if his second behind Albuhera could be taken literally but that was on very fast ground and he has since disappointed. Nick's Choice could also go well he was a fair sixth in a class C handicap at Cheltenham last time and this looks much easier. Of the remainder Night Driver and Ile Michel are from top yards and are worth noting in the market but both have looked short runners so we are happy to side with Fast Mix.
