    Verdict

    Redemptive was second off this mark at Wolverhampton last week and will be fancied to go one better here. Custard The Dragon has won here but wasn’t in the best of form at Southwell at the start of the year and may lack match practice. After showing a glimpse of his old form at Ayr, WOODSIDE WONDER got taken off his feet over 6f at Wolverhampton last week and was forced to take the scenic route. He’s well treated on last season’s form and is worth a market check back over his best trip while a case can also be made for bottom weight Mango Chutney. Glory Of Paris and Steal The Scene look the pick of the remainder.
