In depth
Verdict
A competitive finale with the weights headed by Commanche Wind who may struggle to follow up his success in a weak Sedgefield maiden last time while Magenko is another who could have his limitations exposed off his revised mark after scoring at the same venue last month. There should be little to separate Westmoreland and Ello Ollie on Carlisle form last time but the former looked very idle and may well confirm the placings while Oxidor is still fairly treated on his Huntingdon victory in March and is another to consider with conditions in his favour.
