Verdict

Dark Invader is now 8lb lower than when successful at Wincanton in October but ran poorly when favourite at Southwell last month – a visor replaces the cheekpieces today. Jackthejourneyman is having a first run since November but has gone well fresh in the past. Marju's Quest has an even longer absence to overcome but is one of two course winners in the line-up. The other is AGENTLEMAN, who is back on a winning mark today. He holds Dark Invader and Jacobite Rising on Southwell running, though Kane Yeoman will probably need to play his hand late.
