Verdict
Sinai, Layla's Hero and Rat Catcher were all below par on their latest starts and finished in something of a heap at Thirsk before that with the former coming out best. It's anybody's guess which one of those three will be in the mood today and recent Beverley runner-up Busy Bimbo has now gone 31 starts without win. A multiple winner on Polytrack, WINDFORPOWER has yet to win on Turf but landed a handicap at Kempton in February off a 14lb higher mark and he gets the speculative vote to come out best in this.
