Verdict
ALL ROADS LEAD is the fom pick and is given the vote ahead of Kisha King and Dr Hart. The selection has risen eight pounds in the ratings since breaking his maiden tag at Southwell last time out. He looks more than capable of winning off his new mark and if recapturing the same level of form he will not be too far away come the business end of the race. Kisha King landed a hat-trick of wins between the flags last season and caught the eye when running a personal best at Exeter last time out. He is only one pound higher in the weights as a result and can once again run well. Dr Hart has top weight to carry and although he has run well of late he has found life tough. That said he will relish the conditions and does have plenty of stamina so he should be monitored in the market for any support; however, All Roads Lead looks on the up grade and is taken to win again.
