Verdict
A trappy little sprint, with the in form Another Victim, chasing a hat-trick. He is at his best when there is plenty of give underfoot, so he may find conditions have gone against him. Whistler, has been running with credit and was only just denied at Chester, but he has nothing in hand over Sunley Sense on that running. The latter doesn't win as often as he should, but cannot be left out of calculations in this, while Jodeeka, who is gradually coming down in the handicap, faces her easiest task for a while and must be difficult to beat.
