Verdict
This is a poor race to close the card and we may get a shock result here, so with this in mind we will nominate Stagnite, who can prevail over the likes of Sion Hill and Kathleen Kennet. The selection has been a little disappointing of late but this will not take much winning and if he could bounce back to form he would have a real chance. He has the benefit of a good draw and he could be the value call. Sion Hill returns to the level after a disappointing effort over hurdles at Market Rasen last time. He had gone close over this course and distance previously but that was a dreadful race as well and he was unable to make it count. Kalthleen Kennet wasn't beaten far behind Kinsman at Kempton last time and she has a fair draw, but her best form is over a longer trip. Dancing Deano hails from a yard that do well here and he has a good draw so he could represent the each-way value in the race. However, for our pick we return to Stagnite.
