          Verdict

          A highly competitive sprint handicap and narrowing the field down is no easy task as most of them have shown a good level of form lately. However, Milton Bradley has his string in very good order at present and Corridor Creeper can expand upon the record with Matty Tun, Piccled and Atlantic Viking difficult to separate for the places. The Sedbury-based trainer won this race last year with the ultra-tough Bali Royal and knows exactly what it takes to get one ready for these big-field dashes. Corridor Creeper is ideally suited to the hustle and bustle of such an event and hinted that he is back to something like his best with a solid effort at Bath on his reappearance. Matty Tun has to be feared after edging the advantage in a blanket finish at York last time. But he a 3lb higher mark today makes his task a lot harder today. Piccled is a consistent sort who can be relied upon to run his race, where as Atlantic Viking should also be thereabouts if he is on a going day. Tommy Smith will be a big threat if he can nab the rail and is a likely pace-setter on the far side.
