Verdict
A low quality finale with a big field. Robbie Roo Roo arrives with a penalty after last week's narrow victory at Kempton but at least he's in good form. The last time MITCHUM ran in this grade he won over the course and distance and followed up at a higher level. He hasn't been running all that well but this is his class and he can get back on track. The three-year-old Prazeres has yet to win but went close at Pontefract last time where he didn't get the clearest of runs. He has to be of interest while Gaelic Wizard is on an 8lb lower mark than when successful here in September. Searanger hasn't run badly in handicaps since landing a Catterick seller while Lucky Lodge is rarely beaten far off this sort of mark.
