    Verdict

    Last month's Fontwell winner Miss Wizadora struggled on a return visit to the venue last time and is difficult to recommend with any confidence on that evidence so a chance is taken at more favourable odds on Chaos Theory, who is preferred to River Mere. The last mentioned has slipped to a fair mark and showed signs of a revival at Huntingdon last time so has to be respected off his lightweight. Tom George's Mandica is less exposed than most of these and is interesting dropping back in trip; he makes more appeal than Tim Easterby's Stone Cold, who needs to improve on his reappearance effort at Market Rasen to trouble the judge. The 11-year-old Papua has a good record here and is impossible to ignore although recent form is of concern and preference is for the year younger Chaos Theory. Formerly with Mary Reveley, the son of Jupiter Island has been point-to-pointing with some success of late and made a satisfactory return to rules racing when fourth behind Monty's Quest in a Kelso hunter chase recently. The trip that day would have stretched his stamina and back in distance today Richard Guest's gelding looks worth a punt.
