Verdict

A tightly-knit sprint featuring in-form types. Jordan Electrics has risen 10lb in the weights for a couple of cosy successes and is in great heart at present. He has a useful record here and is well respected on this hat-trick attempt. Dark Defender bounced back to form last time and should be competitive again off a 4lb higher mark, whilst the likes of Pearl Of Qatar, Call Me Ginger and Whittle Le Woods are consistent sorts worthy of consideration. KAPONO has joint topweight but he's a tough gelding who went well on both starts last month and should be right in the mix once more. Big Les would have a decent shout if delivering his best after a poor effort latest.
