Verdict

Course and distance winner My Arch hasn't won for two years now but the veteran is fit from racing over hurdles. Mr Crystal has won three similar events at this track including a marathon over 2m6f at this time last year, but hasn't raced since June. ZAPLAMATION has the more recent form with an easy win at Redcar last week and John Quinn's charge gets the vote to defy a penalty and go in again. Stablemate Hidden Justice landed a recent double over hurdles and can also figure while Linkable has claims if lasting home as he arrives on the back of a double over 1m5f on the Polytrack.
