Verdict

Moorlaw is an in and out performer but is selected in a very weak affair, Ishka Baha and Primary Goal may provide most danger. Moorlaw is from a yard in good form and although disappointing last time out has strong claims on his previous run. He chased home the in form Flake at Catterick and a repeat run would be good enough here. Ishka Baha would have a chance on her best form but is not the most reliable of jumpers. If she does put in an error free round she will be involved in the finish. Ground Breaker only won a weak contest last time out and may struggle under his penalty. Primary Goal is from a top yard and will not have to improve much to get involved here. All in all a very poor event and Moorlaw is a tentative choice.
