10/3
Course winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/4) 28 days ago. Doesn't look the easiest of rides but possesses raw ability to be a big factor at this level.

Forecasts

Gannon Glory (2/1), Vespasian (10/3), Mick's Spirit (10/3), Alafdhal (6/1), Lihou (15/2), Watermelon Sugar (22/1), Pop Dancer (28/1)

Verdict

The return to 5f may see VESPASIAN in a better light and he certainly possesses the ability to win in this grade. He's marginally preferred in favour of recent Southwell winner Lihou and Alafdhal.

  1. Vespasian10/3
  2. Lihou15/2
  3. Alafdhal6/1
