Verdict

This looks a warm race with several in-form/progressive sorts in opposition with the vote in favour of HIGHSTAKESPLAYER. He impressed when making a winning chase debut over C&D 8 days ago, jumping well and asserting run-in. He earns the vote to defy a penalty, with fellow last-time-out winners Ridgeway and Sheldon other likely players.
