Verdict

GERARD MENTOR has won two of his last three starts and today’s conditional was on board on both occasions. He looks worth sticking with ahead of Sea The Clouds. The latter makes his handicap debut having won in novice company and is preferred to Red Vision while Extraordinary Man was leading at Newton Abbot when unseating two out and is another handicapping for the first time. Henri Le Bon looks best of the rest.
