Verdict
It's hard to get away from the claim of Mystic Man in this classified event after his impressive win at Carlisle last week. Assuming he's in the same type of mood he should prove hard to beat. Main danger may come from Cayman Lodge who has been campaigned over twelve furlongs of late and has clearly failed to get home. the return to his optimum trip and the soft ground could produce a dramatic improvement in form for Cayman Lodge. Prideway goes well here and is not without a chance, but Thunder Canyon is very one paced and would probably do better stepped up in trip.
