Verdict

THE WIDDOW MAKER upped his game when third at Wincanton last time and, in a much weaker race, he faces an excellent opportunity to get off the mark if he's able to reproduce that level of performance. Most of the others have questions to answer, but Lusitanien is open to improvement and Second Chapter has at least won between the flags.
