Verdict
This looks wide open but the lack of a recent run would be a concern for supporters of Letscrackon. There of these won on their penultimate outing and WILFY is preferred to Gert Lush and Ice Eagle of that trio as he ran well at Newbury after scoring at Sandown and a strong-run 7f may be more suitable at present than a mile. Purple Power, Cruising and Born A King are others with decent claims with the latter well backed at Redcar on his handicap debut and capable of better. Frozen Waters and Willing To Please should also be thereabouts.
