Verdict

Repeater will do well to defy top weight in this competitive maiden having failed to justify favouritism at Catterick last week but there are possibilities about Stateos, who got off the mark in a maiden at Epsom last month, and the hat-trick-seeking Spirit Of The Law. Ed Dunlop's colt is 10lb higher than when scoring at Kempton 10 days ago, however, and closely matched with Chester winner Mcvicar on earlier Leicester running. Jimmy The Lollipop has more to do than when winning a Wolverhampton claimer so we'll take a chance on VOODOO RHYTHM. Brian Meehan's charge has yet to make the frame in four attempts but clearly appreciated the big step up in distance on the Polytrack last time, staying on nicely despite meeting interference inside the final furlong. He may have more to offer and could be allowed to start at generous odds in this.
