      Verdict

      Trevor Whelan has a dual license and though has mount Ruacana was a bit fortunate to score here last week and has a penalty he was well suited by the testing ground and looks certain to make a bold bid. Karakoram's one victory came on good ground at Ludlow but he'll get a good ride from former jumps jockey Dougie Costello while Flaminger is the only one of three original entries from Gary Moore to take his place and makes his handicap debut. THE GAME IS A FOOT completed a hat-trick in 2017 which included a victory in this race. He's had very little racing subsequently but if ready would be the one to beat.
