Verdict
Most Definitely is quickly turned out after running with a great deal of promise in defeat on Saturday, and he may be able to get his head in front here at the main expense of Inchpast and Tomasino. The selection has yet to win in 18 starts but he really caught the eye on Saturday when travelling strongly on the bridle before failing to pick up when it mattered and he finished third behind Minivet. If he takes his chance here then he could be worth chancing again in the hope that he can finally get his head in front. Inchpast is in the form of his life but he has a 6lbs penalty for his latest win at Catterick when beating Can Can Flyer. He is sure to run his race again but he is steadily rising in the weights and he may just find one too good. Tomasino goes especially well for today's pilot and he should have no problems seeing out this trip. However, he is not the most reliable and for that reason we will look elsewhere for the winner, but if he is in the mood then he will not be far away. Best Port is closely-matched with our selection on their recent run at Thirsk, so he is another that should go well, but for the winner we return to Most Definitely.
