Verdict

In a competitive race to finish proceedings the selection narrowly goes to last time out winner LONGDALE with Lawaaheb and Bamby also in with strong claims. The selection is up nine pounds for that last success and although in his recent career he has failed to win off marks in the mid 90s he has got his head in front off this current rating in the past. This seems to be his favourite track and he should be well suited by the further, if not only slight, step up in trip. Lawaaheb returns after a 222 day break but was consistent enough before that to feature. His mark seems about right and if he's fit and sharp then he should at least grab some prize money. Bamby is another returning after a long break and her last run, which followed a win in testing conditions a Hexham, suggested that something might have gone a miss. She's seven pounds higher than her last victory but despite being nine-years-old is still unexposed and could find the necessary improvement to overcome that. Harrison's Star's last run as almost too bad to be true and any return to form for him will get him in the picture while Polobury looks like an animal running into form off a still competitive rating. All in all very close with the verdict, marginally, belonging to Longdale.
