Verdict

The one who appeals most here is TIS WONDERFUL, who was beaten only by an impressive opponent over C&D recently, and was clear of the third. To think that he would have won that race by 4L if it wasn't for the winner and he remains on the same mark now over the same C&D means he is obvious interest after some other good efforts on the AW recently. Meanwhile Widnes was also a runner-up in a similar race on the AW recently and can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Acker Bilk, who ran well on handicap debut at Newcastle last time.
