        Verdict

        The Resdev Way won at Wolverhampton back in April but has his first start since while ROBEAM scored at the same track more recently. The latter is at home on soft ground and Brian Ellison’s charge gets the vote. Wynford was beaten here last time having won over 2m at Beverley in August with Dereham well behind. Both First Account and Folly Beach step up in trip with the former making more appeal having won over both hurdles and fences in the past.
