Verdict

The race has cut up a little from the five-day stage but this has by no means assisted the punters in a trappy opener. The weights are headed by Henry Hall. He looks to be heading back to some assemblance of form but any further rain will not help him. Tommy Smith, from local trainer, John Wainwright has been in winning form but he too will not be assisted by any moisture and needs to dominate in order to be at his best. Lower numbers tend to be favoured when the rain gets into the track and Paddywack looks to have the right credentials to figure. He appears a much more viable betting proposition over 5f and Tony Culhane will be keen to impress after his recent endeavours. Ptarmigan Ridge is also worth a mention at big odds but his stable's form is hardly anything to enthuse over. The market will give a clue as to the well being of the two David Nicholls runners.
