Verdict
We will take Gangsters R U to score here, with Mighty Fine and World Vision possibly the ones to give him the most to do. The selection is a course and distance winner from 95, and from just a 3lb higher mark today, looks to hold solid enough claims. You can forget his latest effort as he knocked himself and had to pull up. Might Fine won from a three-pound lower mark at Market Rasen in November and was not disgraced last time, for which he has been dropped a pound. With a very good claimer on his back, he should give a good account of himself. World Vision scored on his chasing debut, his only run over fences to date, and now returns to that sphere after a couple of hurdling efforts. He could yet be well handicapped. With Iverain looking a light of his former decent self, Caribbean Cove, who was a fair second to Big Rob at Wetherby last time and who stays this trip, and Salvage, who remains generally consistent, might prove best of the rest, but the vote goes to Gangsters R Us.
