        Verdict

        If Juwwi was not returning from such a long absence he would rate a major chance from his good draw having shown in the past he is very happy on this surface. The long gap is a slight worry and is passed over here in favour of some fitter horses. Matty Tun is taken by TEAMtalk to follow up his victory here two weeks ago to give the late maturing four-year-old his biggest victory of his career for his underrated trainer John Balding. Zarzu and Sundried Tomato are closely matched on their run here 15 days ago with the former holding a slight edge at these weights. The latter was slightly disappointing at Wolverhampton yesterday though he does prefer this track. Greenwood rarely runs a poor race over this trip and goes well for her young apprentice. He should be in the shake-up. Others to consider include the rejuvenated Law Breaker who showed his versatility by winning over 6f last time out. However he may be better suited by Wolverhampton. Piccled won here 22 days ago but he rarely puts in two performances the same and is overlooked for that reason. Sir Desmond has been running well of late and if enjoying himself on his Southwell debut has each-way claims despite the handicapper doing his best to thwart him.
