        Verdict

        A particularly poor seller and in the absence of any serious alternative, the vote goes to Mission To Mars while Tumbleweed Tenor and Route Barree can fill the places. The Charles Cyzer-trained gelding is a fully exposed plater who remains a maiden but put up one of his better efforts last time out when a close second over this trip in a Wolverhampton claimer. This race looks even less competitive and a reproduction of the form may be enough to see the four-year-old finally open his account. Tumbleweed Tenor also ran well last time when narrowly denied in a similar event on the Polytrack surface but her overall record suggests she looks worth opposing while Route Barree has been fairly consistent of late but could struggle on these terms so Mission To Mars is the suggestion to small stakes.
