Verdict
Not a race to go overboard on but Ryan Hatch is a good booking for ICANMOTOR who cannot be a confident choice with a 0-25 career record but nevertheless is expected to deliver a decent account off a fair mark against rivals with question marks against their name too. He usually can be relied upon to run his race, goes well on the forecast good ground and has performed with credit on each of his last three starts. Max Milano is a possible as he has a win in the bank, albeit back in 2012, but suggested last time at Southwell that some ability remains although he is obviously a horse who's had his problems with just seven starts under his belt at the age of 11. Feather Lane may do better now handicapping and joins the shortlist alongside Moreece.
