Verdict

The handicapper is getting to grips with a few of these runners including the admirable Redrosezorro who has enjoyed a fine run of form since September 2017, whilst the top-weight and recent C&D winner Logi is slowly edging out of this grade of contest. On the other hand STRAIGHTTOTHEPOINT is attractively treated on his more distant past form, so he's worth chancing in an open race after belatedly returning to form under similar conditions at Catterick (form largely untested since).
