Verdict

Trip and ground are fine for Doctor Scott and he gets the nomination ahead of Baizically and Sin City. Mark Johnston's gelding showed a good attitude to score last time out at Catterick and should go well despite a pound rise in the weights as he has won from a mark of 84 before. Whilst the stable's two-year-old's aren't flying, the older horses are running well and he can win again here. Sin City was a good second at Pontefract last time out and appeared to have wintered well. However the last time he tried this trip he didn't stay so he will have needed to have strengthened up. Kames Park warrants respect as a course and distance winner but looks too high in the weights. Prairie Sun stays all day but has needed a couple of runs in the past, whilst Lets Roll disappointed last time but should appreciate this longer trip. Baizically is consistent and warrants consideration, however Doctor Scott is taken to win again.
