Verdict

Another tough contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Rudry World,Doctor Scott and Treason Trial and the tentative nomination is given to Doctor Scott. The selection was a fair fifth behind Inchnadamph last time out. This looks less competitive and as he has won off a higher mark in the past he looks the one to be on.Rudry World rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Apache Fort but this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty.Treason Trail is another that could go well off what looks a handy mark but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Pocket Too looks weighted up to his best and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum Doctor Scott looks our idea of the winner.
