Verdict

Wildcat Wizard is tried in first-time blinkers and anything Dandy Nicholls saddles at the moment is worth noting. The veteran Flipando often pops up at a big price and still has the pace to get involved while Kieren Fallon's presence on the very progressive Hoof It suggests Mick Easterby means business. Green Park will have needed his recent run at Beverley though he's probably a few pounds high at present but Internationaldebut looks reasonably treated despite a 4lb rise for his fine second at Doncaster. Tombi is very well in at his best and if Geoff Harker has him right he should be winning in this grade before long but this can go to DISCANTI, who made a promising return behind Cape Vale at Ripon and though having a little to find with Haajes on October's York running has a fitness advantage over Paul Midgley's charge.
