    Verdict

    Superior Force has been beaten at Wolverhampton since scoring at Nottingham while Novak narrowly beat Muveran when scoring over 7f here in October and went close again last time. But TAJ ALOLA defied a penalty for an earlier success at Catterick when winning over today’s trip at Thirsk and Karl Burke’s colt looks the one to beat with more to come on his handicap debut.
