      Verdict

      Gas Line Boy is weighted to go close on his best form but arrives out of sorts after finishing tailed off again in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham. SON OF FLICKA is preferred as he was fancied to figure at Market Rasen last time but didn't get very far before unseating after being hampered. Tony Coyle's charge should figure with normal luck in-running and gets another chance. Karinga Dandy went close at Uttoxeter recently having slipped down the handicap and is not without a chance, but the remainder are harder to fancy.
