    Verdict

    FOLIO's been around the houses but the ten-year-old can add a tenth career win to his CV. Willie Musson's charge shaped with more promise at Windsor last time out and he is attractively handicapped now off 58. Whilst the ground might not be ideal he has won on good-to-soft before and his aging joints might just appreciate the give in the ground today. Gheed and Ptolomeos are both edging down to attractive perches, and along with the returning course winner Credential are not to be ignored. This trip is much more down Sensible's alley, whilst it would be helpful to have Tony Robinson and a full research team to find some solid recent form for either of Kings On The Roof or Renege The Joker.
