Verdict
A trappy contest where Nachi Falls is favoured at the weights with his allowance, but he may still have to give best to YOUNG DILLON , who has been given time since flopping on his chase debut and has the ability to win this. Ozzy Thomas should not be underestimated either, though his penalty might just find him out.
