Verdict

Quiet Warrior was ending a long losing run when scoring over 7f at Wolverhampton and Sacred Harp is preferred on the back of a couple of recent placed efforts. Cadland Lad finished ahead of Born To Finish when third at Kempton last time while Minminwin makes a quick reappearance after placing at Brighton on Monday. Commanche has slipped down the weights and also drops back down in class but ERSHAAD began this year off a 15lb higher mark and he gets a speculative vote to finally take advantage.
