Verdict

SOTO has been knocking on the door of late and can finally get his heads in front at the expense of Spoof Master and Windjammer. The selection has gone close in his last two starts - settling for seconds at both Thirsk and Hamilton. He runs off the same mark as he did last time out and will only have to repeat recent form to win here. Spoof Master is four pounds higher since winning on the all-weather at Great Leighs last time out. He has shown form on a soft surface in the past and if performing to his best he can be in the shake-up. Windjammer has ability but he is inconsistent. He landed a handicap when making all at Catterick back in June but has since failed to trouble the judge so is one to treat with caution.
