Verdict

DEISE ABA looked a potentially smart recruit visually when winning at Chepstow and the fact that the runner-up has since won at Listed level only goes boosts confidence so he gets the vote here in an interesting little race. I Can't Explain is also a novice with considerable potential and he rates the danger ahead of Dashel Drasher who won well latest.
