      Verdict

      Corridor Creeper is selected to get back to winning ways; possibly with the most to fear from fellow veteran Idle Power, while For Life is another that can go well. The last named shot up the ratings after winning four of his last five starts - each in a more convincing manner. However, he now has a career highest mark to contend with and, although he is very much respected, he needs everything to fall into place for him. Idle Power, like the selection, has been a grand servant and wins in his turn. However, he has not won for two years and, at the age of 10 he is not going to be improving at this stage of his career. He faces a tough ask under top weight. Therefore, we switch to Corridor Creeper, who is very well treated on the pick of his old form. Admittedly, he is also drawing towards the end of his career but he still retains all his enthusiasm and considering he was on a mark of 98 at the start of last season, his current rating of 79 leaves Corridor Creeper with a great chance of getting another win under his belt.
