        Verdict

        Fast ground is not ideal for either of the recent winners. Jupiter Fidius scored over a mile in testing conditions at Newcastle last month and there was cut in the ground when RUNNING REEF came out best at Catterick. Tracy Waggott's charge is just preferred in this as he looks to have more scope off his current mark having tumbled down the weights. The remainder make little appeal given Logans Legend has been off the track since last July and Viking Warrior disappointed at Catterick last time when looking to have every chance.
