      Verdict

      Frizzo is respected but this looks tougher than the race he landed at Fakenham last time, whilst Truckers Steel, having looked pretty promising initially, has been beaten out of sight the last twice and the jury is now out on him. Mission To Mars battled on well to land a first chasing success at Newton Abbot and must be on the premises on that evidence but FORWARD FLIGHT is just preferred and may represent a touch more value on his reappearance. He was steadily progressive over timber last term, has won at a higher grade than he contests today and has always looked likely to make a chaser. Let's hope he's ready to roll on this first outing since mid-April.
