Verdict
Dean Pratt gave FOLK TUNE a very confident ride to get back to winning ways at Uttoxeter earlier this month. John Quinn's eight-year-old is a law unto himself at times but is the clear pick on form here and should oblige again if consenting to put his best foot forward. Red Skipper won at Market Rasen in June but downed tools twice on the Flat either side of that success and isn't one to trust. Ladies Best is thoroughly exposed, while Jackstown has been showing little in novice events but still looks the pick of the remainder.
