Verdict

Top Offer will find this tougher than the seller he won here a fortnight ago. National Service remains 8lb higher than last month's victory at Kempton while Tango Sky won last year's renewal but has not raced since September. FINGAL'S CAVE has only won maiden race so far but has slipped down the weights since doing so and a close-up fourth at Chelmsford last time suggests he will be winning soon off his current mark. Mick Channon's charge gets the nod while For Shia And Lula is also capable of popping-up at this level when the mood takes him.
