Verdict

Sintenis Mac gets the vote in the finale although he was due to race here on Friday night. Marmooq has been running consistently whilst Mugeba won this race last year from the same mark. The selection is unexposed in comparison to a number of these and finally got it right when responding well to blinkers last time. The second has run out an impressive winner at Salisbury since then to frank the form and he looks leniently treated on just a 3lb higher mark. Littleton Telchar is well treated on his best form and worth considering, Charlie Delta comes here in good form whilst Grey Boy has threatened to end his long losing run once or twice in recent starts. Marmooq does his winning on the all-weather but it's conceivable that he could run into the money whilst Mugeba is capable of bouncing back from a modest display. Limonia goes well for her pilot, Border Artist is an old hand at this game but his last three wins have come at Yarmouth and of more interest is Cornerstone who looks to be running into form and is on a fair mark. The picture could change if the selection runs on Friday night but Sintenis Mac looks to have a leading chance if he lines up this afternoon.
