Verdict
A race in which each could win in their turn, however today's tentative vote goes to Brendan Powell's Who's Winning. The selection is at the right end of the handicap, and with his stable in excellent form at present, he looks the one to be on. Marko Jadeo ran well last time out, however that was in a claimer and if he can't win that then he shouldn't be winning this. Quiet Times ran a good race from the front twelve days ago at Lingfield, and as a course and distance winner he should be the main danger to the selection. Buy On The Red is consistent if unspectacular, and looks to be in the grip of the handicapper, whilst Pinchbeck is more effective at Southwell. In what is a trappy little contest, Who's Winning gets the tentative vote.
