      Verdict

      This looks trappy with four course and distance winners at the head of the weights. Mr Carbonator sports first-time cheekpieces and has been consistent enough for a while now without getting his head in front, whereas Deleyll is pretty hard to catch right, although the booking of Adam Kirby suggests connections mean business. Traveller usually runs his race and notched a first victory since 2017 last time over course and distance and should be competitive again. Apache Blaze, Sunshineandbubbles and Kybosh could all take a hand but RED GUNNER is preferred. Elisha Whittington's 7lb claim should prove a major plus at these weights and the dual course winner should be cherry-ripe now after a solid effort here on Monday evening.
