      Verdict

      Nonios idled after taking the lead over track and trip last time and held on by only a head from Isomer. The latter re-opposes on better terms but that pair are still hard to separate but Mythical Madness rarely wins nowadays, though is regularly in the mix and gets little respite from the handicapper as a consequence. MR TOP HAT has been competing over shorter trips since going close at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day when both Nonios and Mythical Madness finished behind. He may prove good enough back over today’s distance given Book of Dreams and Shyron have yet to win over this far.
