Verdict

Picador can regain the winning thread at the main expense of Dudley Docker and Wahoo Sam. The selection was a warm order in the market when he was turned over at Wolverhampton on Sunday but we are prepared to forgive him that blip as he had previously won so impressively and he gets the vote. Wahoo Sam will be a danger to all if he is given an easy lead and he does go particularly well for today's pilot Neil Callan. Dudley Docker was a decent second behind Lil Najma last time here over 7f and there is no doubt the return to this slightly longer trip will play to his strengths. But Picador can get losess back from Sunday's disappointing run and he gets the nomination.
