        Verdict

        RAIMOND RIDGE is the call with Wyatt Earp and Secret Witness as the dangers. He won readily at Lingfield last time out and as is often the case with this horse, was not unbacked. Wyatt Earp would be thrown in on some of his old form. Regrettably he seems to have regressed dramatically since those halcyon days and appears one to treat with caution. Secret Witness may be better at Lingfield these days but he is consistent enough and Ron Harris' runners are always worthy of a second glance. Know No Fear has got a decent draw though backers are rapidly becoming potless in pursuit of that overdue win. Welcome Approach is a likeable enough sort from the John Weymes stable who should run his race. Dickie La Davoir is probably a plating class performer nowadays though he has placed twice for his current trainer and has a useful lad booked. The market will probably tell you all in relation to Raimond Ridge though on the formbook, he appears to hold the most obvious chance.
