Verdict

AGE OF WISDOM has failed to fire in three starts following a 19-month absence, but better was clearly expected at Huntingdon recently (sent off 5/2 favourite) and the 9-y-o is worth chancing here off a dangerous mark, in the hope that he responds positively to the new headgear. Raddon Top is 3-3 since switched to handicaps and has to be feared, but The Tin Miner could be the main danger.
