        Verdict

        Ones to consider here are Nocivo, Rare Coincidence and Dandygrey Russett, but the vote goes to Rustarix. With his stable in good form, the Alan King-trained Rustarix, who showed promise in France, looks set to play a good part in this modest novice event. Nocivo won a good-ground bumper on his racecourse debut last season and, given that this is not a strong race, must also surely play a leading part. Much as the form of Rare Coincidence's Newcastle win is run-of-the-mill, at least he has shown that he can win and he rates a danger to the pair mentioned, while Danbury, a half-brother to Reiziger, will rarely find a softer race in which to express himself, so might go well. Another to give some thought to is Dandygrey Russett, who won a Lingfield 10-furlong all-weather maiden from just seven Flat starts. Glen Thyne is certainly bred for this game, so watch the betting, Mr Lewin has shown a modicum of promise, and the best of Smokey Mountain's Irish bumper form affords him a mention. However, the vote goes to Rustarix.
