Verdict
It was only a seller that BASLE won at Wolverhampton last time but this isn't much better. Aaron Jones' 5lb claim further helps his cause and the hat-trick beckons. Spartic was a disappointing favourite in terrible conditions here last week and should finish closer today while Cuthbert finally showed some improvement at this track last time as he looks to end a three year losing streak. Miakora and Amis Reunis have the past form to figure and looks best of the rest.
