        Verdict

        Atlantic Viking gets the confident vote in this claimer with Apex and The London Gang rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Strensal in a better race last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. Apex rates the main danger on his best form but he has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. The London Gang is another that could go well as he is another dropping down in grade but he is best when allowed to dominate and as that does not look likely he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder Blue Knight is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Atlantic Viking who is sure to run his race.
