Verdict

The four main contenders here could be Wiscalitus, Factor Fifteen, Italiano and Fleetfoot Mac, it is hard to choose between them, but Factor Fifteen just gets the verdict. Howard Johnson's gelding was made favourite for what appeared to be a stronger race than this last time. He was a shade disappointing, finishing in fourth place behind Stan, but is given a chance to atone here today. Fleetfoot Mac does come here in winning form having landed a seller at Uttoxeter last time. He won that contest off a mark of 102 and so sets a pretty decent standard for the others. Italiano finished second over course and distance earlier this month and has very good place claims. Wiscalitus hails from a yard in great form and this Market Rasen winner should also be involved in finish despite a penalty. However we haven't seen the best of Factor Fifteen and this could be his day to shine
