      Verdict

      David Kemp trained the winner of this 12 months ago but his Master Workman hasn't shown much this season. MARKY BOB, on the other hand, appears to be going from strength-to-strength for Hugo Froud and won unchallenged over C&D last month. He can give the weight to recent points winners Festival Bound and Native Bob with the mare Alflora Dora probably best of the rest.
