Verdict

Hold Firm has been thereabouts of late without threatening the winner. He still looks a shade high in the weights and STAR PURSUITS (NAP) is preferred. The latter was beaten only a length at Kempton last month having slipped 8lb down the handicap since November and the booking of Luke Morris is a plus. Bionic Indian has been in the mix recently and finished ahead of Malvesi at Wolverhampton last time while Jonnie Skull could pop up at any time off his current mark.
