Verdict
Barton Sands look capable of taking this poor race, with Shaheer and Dagola others for the short list. The selection has three course and distance wins to his name and enjoys this surface. Dropped back in grade once more, he has strong claims here at these weights and we will take a chance with him. Salinger looks well treated on official ratings, but is so badly out of form it is hard to fancy him, and the biggest threat may come from Shaheer. The gelding was not disgraced in defeat last time and a 4lb drop will undoubtedly help his cause here, so he should go much closer. Dagola rarely shows more than a glimmer of his best away from Wolverhampton where he has enjoyed both his wins and cannot be recommended seriously after his latest start here, and so we will tentatively suggest Barton Sands to take the contest.
