Verdict
Go Nomadic gets the confident vote with Benefit and Camdenation rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when making all to beat Lochiedubs. Granted he has a penalty for that win but he won with plenty in hand and he need only reproduce that effort to follow up here. Benefit rates the main danger on his latest third behind Cool Cossack. He remains on a handy mark and will not be far away but he found less than expected off the bridle last time and for that reason he is opposed. Camdenation is another worthy of respect on his best form but he was pulled up for no apparent reason last time out and for that reason he is opposed. Dark Thunder was third behind Tickatea and is another with place claims but his over all profile leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to Go Nomadic.
