Verdict

In the claimer, Mill By The Stream is selected ahead of Quiet Times and Le Chiffre. Mill By The Stream won a handicap over course and distance in January from a mark of 58. He must have a chance here dropped in grade today and given that he is well drawn. Quiet Times is the clear ratings choice and got back to winning ways at Wolverhampton last time. He has some form here and can go well. Le Chiffre rates a leading player based on his course and distance win of last November, while Ace Club goes well here but needs to improve based on ratings if he is to feature today. Mister Incredible had Soba Jones and Bodden Bay behind him when winning over course and distance last time but the former is weighted to get closer and the latter is better drawn today, which will suit him as he likes to race prominently. Soba Jones was also a course and distance winner last time, battling well for victory, and he holds place claims today. Mulberry Lad certainly has enough in the way of recent form to be considered, and first-time cheekpieces could further help the cause. Once again, though, Mill By The Stream gets the call.
