Verdict

Mumbleswerve deserves to get his head in front having been placed in his last three starts and is taken to do so and reverse Doncaster running with Paraguay, who he meets on 2lbs better terms for half-a-length, getting the verdict ahead of Murrin. The last mentioned has, like the selection, been running consistently well of late and he should be thereabouts once more. Sonny Parkin has paid the penalty at the hands of the handicapper for his win here in June and of more interest may be Carlitos Spirit, who is better than he showed under testing conditions at Carlisle last time. David Elsworth's Summer Dancer needs to improve on recent form to take a hand and a better bet looks to be the consistent Mumbleswerve, who is taken to gain a deserved first success of the season.
