    Verdict

    A poor contest which won’t take much winning. ANTON DOLIN’s losing run stretches back to April of last year but he’s now 4lb lower and was second off a higher mark at Market Rasen in August - a repeat of that form would probably suffice. Torrent Des Mottes is 0-11 but a recent fifth at Market Rasen offered some encouragement while Aza Run is a course and distance winner running off a lower mark. St John's has been fairly consistent in a higher grade and has been eased in the weights so can’t be ignored.
