Verdict

NORTHERN EXPRESS can be forgiven his defeat at Haydock held up in a tactical affair and on the evidence of his York success prior to that, he's up to winning from this mark. Papacito defends an unbeaten record and is in top hands, so has to be feared, with Rogue Bear another handicap debutant to note.
