Verdict
A low grade event which is little better than a seller but Sir Don has solid credentials and gets the vote. The David Nicholls-trained gelding makes a quick reappearance having landed a similar event over this trip at Thirsk on Friday. The son of Lake Coniston appeared to have something in hand at the finish and remains well treated on the pick of his old form so should give another good account from a favourable low draw. Must Be Magic failed to last home over ten furlongs last time but has claims on his Kempton victory last season while Mr lear has had his problems but showed signs of retaining some ability last time and can't be ruled out. Mobo-Baco comes here in good heart after making a winning return in a Leicester seller last month and has to be respected but Oundle Scoundrel was well below his best last time and may struggle once again from a poor draw.
