Verdict

Waynesworld, Yes My Lord and Herecomestanley are three against the field in this competitive affair and the vote is given to Yes My Lord. The selection looked progressive last season until pulling up on his final start but he may have been over the top on that occasion and off what remains a fair mark and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Waynesworld has been in good form of late and rates the main danger but his best form is in small fields in less competitive affairs and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Herecomestanley is another that could go well as he won well last time when beating Miss Wizadora but he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Of the remainder Cowboyboots is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable under top weight and for the winner we return to Yes My Lord.
