Verdict

Another small field contest with just the four runners standing their ground including Fifteen Reds, who is not one to trust having run out last time. Lucky Nomad is the least exposed of the quartet but needs to improve to take a hand, while Pluto has been well held off similar marks recently. That leaves Maraud, who gets the TEAMtalk vote. Michael Sowersby's son of Midyan made all to win at Sedgefield when last seen in July and, if fit after an absence, he looks the one to be on.
