Verdict

A handful of form ties in various horses to each other in this contest but preference is for NORTHERNPOWERHOUSE, who deservedly got his head in front last time and could currently be one step ahead of the handicapper if he can run straight. How Bizarre failed to stay a stiff 1m last time out and thrives around this C&D and could be dangerous at a fair price, while claims can also be made for Gometra Ginty and Battle Of Waterloo, whose repose each other again, with the latter being of interest without his penalty this time around.
