Verdict

Another competitive contest in which many have chances. Michael Finnegan, Ceresfield Jamorin Dancer and Real Fire are all worthy of consideration but a chance is taken on Lonesome Dealer. He was a fair hurdler at his best goes well on the ground and is from a yard in top form and if he jumps well he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Michael Finnegan was a fair second over course and distance last time out but that was on much softer ground and he has never been as effective on a faster surface. Ceresfield is another who is in form but he is still a maiden and his best efforts have come over longer trips. Jamorin Dancer broke his duck at the 32nd attempt at Market Rasen on Saturday and if conditions remain on the fast side he could go well at a fair price. Of the remainder Real Fire is from a yard in form and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
