Verdict

Iron Man will be heading to Market Rasen again next month and this is probably his prep race. Stablemate Quattrocento is a couple of pounds out of the handicap while My Moment returns from a lay-off and Thelobstercatcher is still having problems with his jumping. Peachey Moment is on a career-high mark and has his stamina to prove over this trip, though probably still has more scope than former pointer Herons Well who could only muster the one pace when second at Worcester on his debut for Rebecca Curtis. TUSKAR ROCK carries a penalty for his recent victory at Uttoxeter but that's the only thing not in his favour and, very consistent, he could easily score again.
