Verdict
Wakool returns to action 11lb higher than when winning here at the start of the year while Silver Flyer ended last season with a second at Bangor. But several have more recent form including Carlisle runner-up Dallas Des Pictons but he’d earlier finished behind JACK DEVINE when the latter was second at Perth. Rose Dobbin’s charge will be sharper for that outing and can go one better. Snookered posted a better effort at Wetherby earlier in the month and is not out of this either.
