Verdict

Not that many strong profiles in this and several come here with questions to answer. A chance is taken with NESTERENKO who is still well-weighted on his hurdles form despite the 4lb rise for a game effort from the front last time; he may get another easy lead here. Awake At Midnight has shown his best form going the other way around and needs to prove himself after a dismal last effort. Nikki Steel gained a reward for some consistent efforts last time but doesn’t shape like a real improver and it may be Dr Des and Potters Story who have more to offer. The former is gradually getting his act together over fences while the latter will appreciate a go in handicaps more.
