Verdict
Iorana looks very difficult to oppose in the seller. Martin Pipe's charge was racing off marks of up to 130 earlier in the season but despite being turned over in a couple of sellers, he returned to form under the McCoy drive to land a Class D event at Worcester. Dreamie Battle is the one to chase him home and should strip fit for a recent outing at Pontefract. AStormydayiscoming and Oh No Not Him are both moderate performers on the flat.
