Verdict

Wasim has struggled under penalties since making a winning debut at Doncaster and BOMBASTIC can take advantage of the weight concession. The latter has been placed in all three starts to date, including at Salisbury a fortnight ago when finishing ahead of Scenery. It was heavy ground when Speak In Colours went close at Nottingham so he’ll not be inconvenienced if the forecast rain arrives while Jack Regan may do better today dropping down to 6f for the first time.
