Verdict

Neil Mullholland has two entered in this veteran' handicap. Soupy Soups has never recaptured the form that saw him land a Class 2 Perth handicap from a 17lb higher mark in August last year. Fingerontheswitch hasn't won for almost two years but has mainly raced in better company and looks best of the stable's pair. Petite Power has won around here and though that was on heavy ground he was only beaten a short-head on good going at Chepstow in April. Good Man Vinnie won a Class 3 handicap here in May 2018 and has returned from a very long break with two poor runs over hurdles. CREATIVE INERTA has raced in point-to-points and hunter-chases for most of his career but showed there was a handicap to be won with him when a close third at Exeter and looks the one to beat.
