        Verdict

        Back To The Wind can confirm his latest winning form at the expense of Danny Zuko and Castletown Boy. The selection broke his maiden tag for Nicky Henderson at Ludlow in a sub standard novice handicap contest. He has more work on her hands here now running off a seven pounds higher mark but in such a poor race he can win again for his new connections. Danny Zuko won a bumper for Paul Nicholls before joining his current yard. He has shown a decent level of ability of late running well in a novice event at Aintree last time out suggesting that another win during the summer is not beyond him so is one to note. Castletown Boy ran a personal best ay Hexham last time putting a disappointing effort on heavy ground behind him. That said with all the rain falling over the past weekend there is no guarantee he will get his ground here so is treated with caution. So for the winner we return to Back To The Wind.
