Verdict
A wide open handicap here with many in form rivals in opposition including Middlethorpe,Duc's Dream, The Persuader,and Banningham Blaze and the confident vote goes to Middlethorpe. The selection won in good style on his debut this season when defeating Robbie Can Can and although he is rising in the weights he remains on a fair mark and with conditions to suit he will be hard to beat. Duc's Dream rates the main danger he has dropped to a fair mark and although he has been disappointing on the AW of late he could go well now he is switched back to turf. The Persuader is another that could go well he improved out of all recognition last season but he looks to have plenty on at the weights and for that reason is opposed. Banningham Blaze is another on a fair mark but is far from consistent while Theatre Tinka is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Middlethorpe.
