Verdict
Doctor Bong looks the pick of the weights in this but it is a worry that he'd had plenty of chances since winning at Chester last year, though this is his first appearance in a seller. Imperial Link won twice here in the summer but it was soft ground on both occasions. Rebel Lightning won in this grade at Wolverhampton last November but has managed just two places from five attempts on turf. Hamilton second IN MY PLACE steps up a furlong and has a double penalty but he likes fast going and his yard won this last year. He may be worth a speculative wager as Just Be Lucky only beat three rivals in a Catterick claimer in July and has done nothing since.
