Verdict
This is a poor race and we'll take a chance on And Toto Too, with One Way Ticket, Karaoke King and Savile's Delight the best of the rest. The selection is a course and distance winner and showed signs of a return to form last time at Pontefract to claim a place in a race won by Tychy, after a slow start from the stalls. A reproduction of that effort could be good enough here. One way Ticket could go well after a good effort at Warwick two runs ago, but he was a disappointment last time at Yarmouth and that run would have to be ignored. Karaoke King won last time out at Salisbury, but has a poor strike rate overall with only one win from 24 races. Savile's Delight has ability but has been disappointing of late, so in a weak contest, we are happy to take a chance on And Toto Too.
