Verdict
Lorna Cole finished in front of Slowmo when runner-up in a seller here last month and also has the beating of Van Gerwen on these terms. Requinto Dawn has won over 6f at Southwell on a couple of occasions this year and has every chance at the weights but so does last year’s winner STEELRIVER. The veteran arrives on the back of a good effort over 6f here last time and still looks capable of scoring at this level.
