Verdict
Flying Trix can land the finale although Torche and Villair hold formbook chances. Mark Pitman's charge ran well for a long way under Tom Greenall during a reappearance effort and if the jumping holds up, he shouldn't be too far away again. Torche has been taking on some decent novices thus far and is now thrust against those with more experience. Now is the time to see if he will sink or swim. Villair is a likeable sort from the Charlie Mann stable. He didn't look to be on a going day last time out but he maintains his ability and remains interesting off this mark. Harlov is no stranger to punters on the Northern circuit and is a dour stayer. Native Buck looks to have lost his form badly and is now in the last chance saloon with his first-time visor. Flying Trix should have come on greatly for the run and is confidently picked here.
