Verdict
WORDINESS is looking to end a long losing run and looks to have a good chance of doing so in this. He was third to Midtech Star over a shorter trip here last week and has won over track and trip before. Danglydontask scored off a 5lb lower mark over 2m at Chepstow in August and is another course and distance winner while Moon Over Mobay was beaten a couple of lengths over 2m at Kempton in November and makes more appeal than the remaining pair.
