      Verdict

      A tricky contest to end the card and we will take a chance with Bojangles, Factual Lad and Pont Neuf are also expected to run well. The selection comes here in good form having beaten amnesty on heavy ground at Bath last time. He has also performed with credit on a much faster surface and he still looks on a decent mark. Rod Millman's Factual Lad will be a major threat to all. He returned from a poor spell on the all-weather to land a very competitive handicap at Brighton. There could be more to come and he will be hard to keep out of the places. Pont Neuf contested a a competitive claimer last time and ran up to form in fourth place behind Mad Carew. He may be a couple of pounds away from winning but should be should be chasing some place money. Karaoke looks the pick of the others, but Bojangles is at the top of his game at present and can land back to back victories.
