Verdict
A fairly competitive opener with a number of in-form rivals in opposition including Central Committee who is the TEAMtalk selection to complete a hat-trick. The Richard Phillips-trained gelding has displayed a most willing attitude to land competitive handicaps at Bangor and Sedgefield this term and shapes as though there could be more to come over this longer trip. Sadler's Secret stays this trip well and also comes here in top form having notched a har fought victory over 2m4f at Haydock last time but may struggle to defy a subsequent 4lb rise. The Lyme Volunteer has been a model of consistency this term and has place claims once again but last month's Exeter winner Lord 'N' Master is now 9lb higher and may be in the handicapper's grip while Step In Silver disappointed on his comeback last month and is best watched.
