Verdict

The reliable veteran BOMB SQUAD gained a deserved success at Wolverhampton last time out and looks the way to go edged up just 2 lb here. C&D scorer JKR Cobbler is next on the list back at his optimum trip, while Habrdi, Trais Flours and Operation Gimcrack all need factoring into this open handicap, too.
