Verdict
That's Racing, Mendosino and Wild Tonto are the shortlisted trio here, with Mendosino getting the nod. That's Racing won at Sedgefield a year ago but has gone up the handicap since. He is yet to return to his winning mark and may need to drop a few more pounds despite a distant second last time. Wild Tonto is six pounds better off for a beating of almost five lengths by Mendosino and he can narrow the gap here. The second that day, Mickmacmagoole has won twice since so the form looks good. Wild Tonto will enjoy the cut in the ground and is only six pounds higher than when scoring at Wincanton in March. Mendosino has since been run out of it close home at Uttoxeter and can take this.
