Verdict
Winds Of Fire has been in decent form recently with a win at Sedgefield and a couple of seconds at Hereford. Moroder has been edging closer to a first victory and Wigglesworth makes his handicap debut. BLAME THE GAME is progressive and has been left on the same mark as when second at Ascot so looks to have a decent chance of going one better. Neither Furkash nor Master Templar can be ignored but Tide Times is facing a tough task at the weights.
