      Verdict

      Johnny Hancocks has been on the go for a long time but is holding his form well and only a pound higher than when a half-length second to Rambo Will at Kempton earlier this month. Misty Morn won at Catterick last month but only beat one home on a return visit to the track 10 days ago and doesn't looks as progressive at DR RED EYE. Dandy Nicholls' gelding has been struggling to get home over 6f but showed a lot of speed when runner-up at Southwell last time and seems sure to be suited by this drop in distance. Rothesay Chancer may be best of the rest but lacks a recent run.
