Verdict

Another wide open affair in which many have chances but the main protagonists appear to be Quabmatic, Back To Bill, Cullian and Gumley Gale but we prefer to take a chance on Therealbandit. The gelding from the Martin Pipe yard won in the style of an improver when defeating Curtains Hill over course and distance last time out and although he has risen in the weights he could still be ahead of the handicapper. Quabmatic rates the main danger he goes on any ground and he on well last time out. However he will need to have improved again to defeat Therealbandit. Back To Bill could also go well and the more rain the better his chance. Cullian is another who is well weighted on his best form but his very best efforts have come on heavy ground and he may find this surface on the fast side. Gumley Gale is another course and distance winner that could go well but he looks in the handicappers grip ,at present. Of the remainder Turaath is from a yard in form and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
