Verdict

Ishetoo is in the form of his life and gets the nod to win again at the expense of Triple Shadow and La Vecchia Scuola. The last-named has his first run for Bob Johnson today having been claimed out of Dandy Nicholls' yard after a win a week ago at Musselburgh. A first-time visor worked the oracle on that occasion and now blinkers are worn in the hope of continuing his good form but that was a bounce back to form and this race is tougher. We will take him on with Ishetoo who comes here chasing the four-timer and whilst he has risen up the weights, he looks worth siding with again. He owes backers nothing and with conditions in his favour once again, he looks sure to run another big race. This mark of 75 makes life tougher but with the experienced Paul Hanagan aboard, he gets the nod. Hawaii Prince won well last time out and would have claims if repeating that effort, whilst Bollin Franny showed more last time out and looks to be going the right way. Ronnie Howe is consistent and has claims of reaching the frame again, along with Darcy's Pride who has winning course and distance form and would be a danger if allowed to dominate from the front. Another open affair and Ishetoo gets the tentative nomination.
