      Verdict

      It's impossible to see past HADA MEN here as he made a blistering start on Fibresand last week when landing a 1m6f handicap by seven lengths and is only penalised 6lb. Spiritonthemount was a long way behind and looks well held but Delorain stays the trip and likes the track and, as he's just 1lb higher than for his last victory, he looks the main threat with Ryan Powell able to claim his allowance.
