Verdict

Sean O'Casey gained his only victory to date over the course and distance a year ago and is on a 6lb lower mark due to poor subsequent form. Free Forum won a lower-grade handicap here in August and though running reasonably well later in the year is 9lb higher and hasn't run since October. Widnes was having his 20th start when finally losing his maiden tag on the Polytrack at Lingfield last month but at least arrives in good form and is just 3lb higher. SCOONES has been confined to Polytrack for his last six starts, scoring at Lingfield in September. He's improved since his early form on Turf and is now on an attractive mark. Go On Gal has never won in ten starts on Turf but has gone close on this track on two occasions and looks the main threat.
