Verdict

JOE CASTER is a confident choice to complete his hat-trick and should have too much firepower for The Kyllachy Kid and Secret Venue. He made his debut back in April where he was well supported to win a race that went to Art Connoiseur. He was only beaten just over 3 lengths there and again ran well in defeat behind Global City at Yarmouth before winning his maiden at the start of October at Nottingham. He beat another useful sort at Wolverhampton last time and can take the 6lb rise in his stride. The Kyllachy Kid has been a model of consistency and wasn't winning out of turn at Ayr at the start of the month. The handicapper has sensibly only raised him by a pound and he should be on the premises. Secret Venue's form seems to have levelled out after a promising start to the season and he'll need to get back to his very best to collar the two at the top of the weights but is not without claims. Lucky Numbers and Love You Louis have some soft ground form to their names so aren't dismissed but Joe Caster can prove too strong for them all.
