Verdict

A very competitive handicap to end proceedings, Millville, Wunderwood and Jorobaden are three to concentrate on, with the latter taken to oblige. Jorobaden was the unexpected winner of a Leicester maiden last time, beating Gannymede by a comfortable length. There could be a lot more to come from this lightly raced four-year-old and he is chosen to follow up. Millville has been in great form on the all-weather this winter winning three times at Lingfield. He has had his training problems in the past but can't be ignored in his present mood. Wunderwood landed a similar race to this at Doncaster last October and also put in some good performances in defeat, he goes well fresh and will be hard to keep out of the frame. Of the others Flotta tends to win his fair share of races and could fight for a place, however in a very open event Jorobaden just gets the nod.
