        Verdict

        The market may be the best guide here in a race dominated by newcomers, but Thyne For Intersky comes from a powerful stable and is the selection ahead of Cardington, and Mick Easterby's pair Stittenham and Marsh Run. According to Mike Hopper of Interskyracing.com, Thyne For Intersky has been ready to run for some time now. The slight drawback is that he definitely needs a touch of give in the ground, good at worst, so it's really a matter of waiting for the weather to turn. Jonjo O'Neill was toying with the idea of running him at Worcester on Saturday, but with a dry forecast the going would have been too much on the fast side. The son of Good Thyne has strengthened up well and the trainer is pleased with his progress. We wish the boys the best of luck today, and providing Thyne For Intersky does not find conditions too quick here, he has the class to make a winning debut under Tony Dobbin. Cardington is Flat-bred, but his stable do well in this sphere, while it is anybody's guess as to which of Mick Easterby's duo is the most forward, but Gino Carenza rides Marsh Run, even though it is owned by Lord Daresbury, whose son Tom Greenall has the leg up on the stable's other entry Stittenham. There are too many ifs and buts to make this a strong betting medium, but Thyne For Intersky is worth a small investment in the hope that he will handle the ground.
