Verdict

Nulato is probably worth taking on under his double penalty and we'll take a chance with Classic Chic. Alan King's runner showed a professional attitude to win in heavy ground over course and distance last time but he has his work cut out to concede weight all round. The selection shaped with some promise on his debut at Carlisle recently and should come on for the experience; Jason Maguire takes over from a conditional and Classic Chic should be involved. Helpston also shaped with promise at Uttoxeter in what appeared to be a decent race. That form gives him leading claims in this company. Of the newcomers, Ayemdee and Native Bob are two that immediately take the eye as they represent leading yards and look the part on paper. The market should guide as to expectations for their chances and those of the other newcomers. Classic Chic is the tentative suggestion.
