    Verdict

    Martin Pipe's Tragic Ohio created a big shock when belying odds of 50/1 to win on his debut at Exeter last month. The four-year-old has a penalty to carry for that success and, on a faster surface, may struggle to follow up. The Paul Nicholls-trained Mount Karinga, a son of Karinga Bay, would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to win this on his debut and has to be respected along with Diamond Vein, who probably did not beat much when winning at Sedgefield last time. However, it might be worth taking a chance with Castleford. The Philip Hobbs-trained gelding was not disgraced on his debut at Kempton when a 15-length 11th behind Chelsea Bridge. The form of that race has been boosted by the second, Trabolgan, who subsequently found just the winner too good in the Festival bumper and sixth placed Rome, who won on Monday. This represents a drop in class for the Hobbs horse and he could take advantage of it. With Paul Webber's string in good form, Teelin has to be respected on his debut along with Jeff King's Silent Gunner and Roman Court from the Robert Alner stable.
