Verdict
Roudee just edges this at the weights but seems to have lost his form of late albeit in better company than this. Kibaar is progressing well and won a handicap at York last time but Steve Prescott hasn't threatened the winner despite his recent placed efforts at the track and steps up in trip. Mattmu won a Haydock maiden by a head last time but TICKS THE BOXES was more impressive when landing a maiden race at Windsor and he gets the nod for Clive Cox's in-form yard.
