Verdict
Mitchum is enjoying a new lease of life having won for the first time since 2013 when scoring at Redcar and going in again over 6f at Thirsk last time. But he’s upped a further 6lb for this and CAPTAIN SCOOBY is preferred. Richard Guest’s veteran had Johnny B Goode back in fourth when winning at Pontefract recently and has scored over track and trip before. New Lease Of Life was behind Mitchum before going close at Catterick ahead of last year’s winner Bronze Beau and is another to consider.
