Verdict

MONT CHOISY caught the eye when finishing strongly for third at Uttoxeter last time and can take this competitive contest under his useful 10lb claiming rider. The selection wears a visor for the first time and can get the better of the unexposed top weight As You Like who was a winner on his penultimate outing while stout stayer Nicki's Nipper can take third.
  1. Mont Choisy
  2. As You Like
  3. Nicki's Nipper
