Verdict
SIX OF CLUBS won at Wolverhampton last month and the C&D winner looks to have every chance in this given the doubts surrounding today's opposition. Akula has been hurdling but a sequence of seconds on the Flat before that suggests he's high enough in the weights while Novel Dancer finished runner-up over 1m4f here last time but earlier efforts over this longer trip leave plenty to be desired. Neighbourhood was returned a 25/1 winner at Southwell recently and has to prove that was no fluke while Masters Blazing made the frame on his last couple of starts but over a much shorter trip.
