Verdict

Course winner GHATHANFAR hinted at a revival when fifth at Thirsk last time out and is taken to build on that and capitalise on a handy-looking mark now. Novak rates the obvious threat in his bid for a four-timer with Doncaster scorer Fantasy Master and in-form pair Rathbone and Abate completing the shortlist.
