Verdict
No recent winning form to consider but MACHINE LEARNER has gone close the last twice, including over track and trip on his penultimate start, and should be thereabouts again. Rubensian was narrowly beaten at Chelmsford last time and steps up in distance while Stonecoldsoba was placed over 1m4f at Chepstow earlier. Fastnet Blast is unexposed and may do better on only his second start in a handicap but course winner Wildomar still looks high enough in the weights on his return from a three-month lay-off.
