Verdict

Eye Of The Water is on a long losing run but is usually thereabouts and has slipped down the ratings a little. Bezzas Lad won here last year and at Wolverhampton in February. Port Noir was second at the latter track last month while Kool Moe Dee has slipped to a mark off which he should be capable of winning. But we’re loathe to desert the in-form MACS DILEMMA, who hasn’t stopped improving since switching back to Turf and may well defy a further 9lb rise.
