    Verdict

    NOODLES BLUE BOY has been thereabouts off today's mark of late. It could his turn again today and he beat Haadeeth when scoring over track and trip way back in 2013. The latter has also been in decent form recently including a second at Chepstow last time but Oscars Journey found a 4lb rise beyond him at Nottingham after winning at Chelmsford earlier. Groundworker is back on a winning mark and could go well but Dishy Guru remains 6lb higher than when scoring at Goodwood in September where finished ahead of Valmina.
