Verdict
Satwa Laird has been back on a winning mark for his last few runs and looked like taking advantage when going close at Yarmouth a fortnight ago. He should be thereabouts, along with Starclass, though the latter has a bit to prove over today's trip. Tewin Wood's recent second came in an amateurs' race and the penalisde Catchanova is stepping up a grade after last week's C&D win. Powerful Presence is hard to overlook in his current form but a tentative vote goes to Redcar maiden winner SET ME FREE, who proved unsuited to soft ground at Yarmouth last time but has gone close on this surface and has scope for improvement.
