Verdict

On a bare reading of their last meeting last time out OSGOOD is weighted to reverse the result on Croeso Cusan so the former is given the verdict. There was just a nose between the pair when they met over course and distance last time but the marginal subsequent weight swing should give Mick Channon's runner the edge. April Fool sprung a 50/1 surprise last time and his previous efforts don't guarantee a follow-up while One Hit Wonder was a comfortable winner at Brighton on his latest but has form to over turn on Croeso Cusan. Song To The Moon can be given a chance on his run at Leicester two starts back but Osgood looks good to win.
