    Verdict

    If Fire Up The Band fails to handle the fibresand then Savile's Delight should be able to take advantage but this really should go the way of Dandy Nicholls's runner. He may only have won once since 2005 and may only be a shadow of his former self but he should still retain enough ability to win in this company. Dandy Nicholls has his team in good order and has enjoyed plenty of success when dropping his seasoned campaigners down to this company in the past. Savile's Delight has gone close over course and distance the last twice and is guaranteed to run up to form. He should go well but Regal Royale and Guto look up against it and this can go to the clear pick at the weights, Fire Up The Band.
