Verdict

A pretty dismal affair but John Wade must fancy his chances of success. He runs Casual Cavalier, a consistent sort last season, and New Academy but both have a lengthy absence to overcome. River Bollin is also returning from a lay-off while Clan Chief has been a massive disappointment. TRIUMPH DAVIS has generally raced over further but does have one piece of decent form on soft going so gets a tentative vote.
