Verdict
Mithak has been called a few names in the past as he has looked reluctant to get his head in front. However, he did nothing wrong at all when he won at Haydock last time, form on which he should hold Sadler's Secret. This is probably his ideal trip, and with that confidence booster under his belt it would be no surprise to see him score again here. Putup Or Shutup makes his handicap debut here, and appears to have been quite fairly assessed. He was a disappointment when tried over three miles last time, however, and is probably best watched for now. Top weight Colliers Quay's best form has come on much better ground than this and he has been below par in his last couple of starts, so is readily opposed. The Lyme Volunteer is a dour stayer who is in great heart, but a line through Sadler's Secret means that she has something to find with Mithak at these weights and she may have to settle for a place at best. Great Crusader, bidding for a hat trick here, steps up in class but is another with a fair chance.
