Verdict
In the last race on the card we opt for WHATCANYASAY ahead of Bow School while Carrietau has the look of a good each-way chance. Up six pounds for his last time out victory the pick is a bit of a specialist at Sedgefield but has scored a runners-up spot here in the recent past. He should have enough in the locker to kick on once more and score. Bow School looks well enough to run a good race here dispite facing a nine pounds rise in his rating from his easy victory last time. The form from the race is ok at best with the sdtandard looking about right for Howard Johnson's charge so the slight step up in class might not suit. Carrietau has finished fourth in each of his last four runs but as a result is nowback to his last winning mark. This race represents a slight step up in class but he should feature strongly. All For The Cause and Oso Magic have bits and pieces of form so give them a small claim eac but the winner should be Whatcanyasay.
