Verdict
A low grade event in which in-form runners are thin on the ground. A notable exception is Polish Paddy who showed the benefit of the first-time visors when an easy winner at Taunton earlier this month. A subsequent 6lb increase may not be enough to prevent the follow-up against decidedly modest opposition which includes Rainbow Dance, who is slipping down to an attractive mark and has the services of Tony McCoy, Red Stranger, who has lciams on placed efforts last term and Red Square Dawn who ran creditably in defeat last time.
