Verdict

MASSIMO BLUE confirmed that he's right back to his best with a victory at Southwell and second at Wolverhampton last week and he's fancied to resume winning ways under a penalty. General Assembly was fourth in a higher grade C&D handicap on penultimate start and looks the main danger if returning to that form, while Shalaa Asker ran his best race of the year when third over C&D last time and remains on a handy mark.

  1. MASSIMO BLUE
  2. GENERAL ASSEMBLY (IRE)
  3. SHALAA ASKER
