        Verdict

        Red Pike finished runner-up at Chelmsford a fortnight ago but hasn’t won since 2015 and FIRST EXCEL is preferred. Roy Bowring’s charge has gone close the last twice and finished in front of Wiff Waff, Another Angel and Lord Of The Glen when second over track and trip last week. Gamesome is usually thereabouts at this level but rarely wins while Gnaad drops down in class and Amazing Grazing has been running well at Southwell.
