Verdict

Veteran Mr Mafia won at Newton Abbot in July but was pulled up at that track last month. Captain Tommy’s recent poor run came over hurdles but he is also hard to predict. Putdecashonthedash, Blame The Game and HIPPO DES ONGRAIS (NAP) are all returning from a break but the latter pair, both course winners, may still fight out the finish with the latter probably still on a decent mark. Red Happy has become very disappointing.
