        Verdict

        Espada is an interesting contender, and can put paid to recent scorer Lobos and northern raider Zhitomir. It is hard to believe that Espada is lining up in this sort of company, given his exploits in the past. He was able to mix it with the best of them in top handicap company, and was successful in April in a classified stakes race at Windsor. He has been absent since finishing down the field at Chester in May, which is a bit of a worry, but just a glimmer of his past form would be enough. If for some reason Jamie Osborne has not got him spot on, then Lobos may be the one to take advantage. Gary Moore¿s charge has been a standing dish here this year, and landed a minor gamble in a Class E handicap four days ago. There is no reason why he should not go close. Zhitomir was already sliding down the weights when he left Simon Dow and would have to recapture his form in a big way. The fact that he has been sent down from Darlington though means that he should be kept on the right side. Jamestown is a bit of a character these days but was good enough to win a claimer at Pontefract in April. If he puts it in, he may reach the frame, but we are prepared to go with Espada under one of the best all-weather pilots, Eddie Ahern.
