Verdict

Far from a quality contest there are quite a few that need treating with caution in this and the safest option may be to side with the unpenalised RAMORE WILL who won a similar contest last time out and didn’t appear to have a hard race. Bolving has to be of interest again especially if he could repeat his good bumper form here while Theatre Stage should be watched closely in the market he could be better than his mark. Telmadela off bottom weight comes into the argument if he’s now worse for a fall last time while Clearly Capable has to be looked if he’s ready to rumble after a break with The Mighty Ash looking to back up his good run with Richard Johnson now taking over the ride.
