      Verdict

      This claimer looks a really good opportunity for TOURNEDOS to get back into the winner's enclosure as he only looks to have a slight challenge for Obe Gold with the likes of Nomoreblondes looking a little outclassed. Trainer David Nicholls found a similar outstanding chance for one of his string last week and he should pull off the feat with the selection who is rated a full 10lbs above his nearest rival. He only has to concede two pounds to that closest challenger and although he has been wildly out of form he should take advantage of some terrific terms. Obe Gold is the rival who has at least eight pounds at the weights to find on the pick. He though has been on decent form at this level so could spring a surprise. Nomoreblondes and Silvanus look weighted out of a winning chance but both should run into the prizes but there's no doubting that Tournedos has the terms firmly in his favour.
