Verdict

This looks a competitive affair but Outer Space could be interesting if ready after a break as his stable is in fine form. He is, however, one of seven who have won at this track before. That list also includes Firmdecisions, only beaten a neck at Chelmsford earlier this month, recent Newcastle fourth Intransigent and DUTCH ART DEALER. Ivan Furtado’s charge has a penalty for a recent success at Newcastle but Lewis Edmunds again takes off 7lb and he looks to have a good draw. Newcastle winner War Department proved his versatility when second last time at Southwell and is consistent while a case can also be made for Joey's Destiny and Aguerooo, who has been racing at Deauville.
