Verdict

There is plenty of comparative course form to work with in this. Flaming Thistle came with a late rattle to beat West Ship Master and Apache Pilot over track and trip last month. But all three looked like winning at one stage on the run-in and there wouldn't be much between the trio on the revised terms. Highlander Ted beat Benefit In Kind by a length-and-a-quarter at Newcastle but the second is now 3lb better off. Twice Lucky beat last year's winner Outlaw Tom here in May of last year but this will be his first outing since and Mia's Anthem has also had a break. RESOLUTE REFORMER was well behind West Ship Master here on his chasing bow but showed the benefit of that run when drawing readily clear at Carlisle last week. A penalty might not have done him any favours but he's only a six-year-old so there should be plenty more to come. Over And Above and Samson Collonges could both figure if there is a strong pace.
