Verdict
Nantucket Sound is in hot form at the moment and can't be opposed here, Nawow and San Hernando could provide most danger. This progressive four-year-old, formally with Martin Pipe, has thrived since joining his new yard landing back to back victories at Southwell. The first came in a claimer and then he took advantage of lenient mark to land a handicap. This race is tougher but he still looks ahead of the assessor and is taken to score. Nawow returns following a disappointing spell over hurdles, but if he can recapture last winter's all-weather form he is sure to be in the firing line. David Elsworth does well with his few winter campaigners and San Hernando, a winner at Goodwood in October, could go well on his all-weather debut. Blackmail is steadily returning to form and may prove best of the others, but Nantucket Sound is hard to ignore in this mood and is taken to land the hat-trick
