Verdict

Argaum may finish closer dropping down a grade while there was little between Green Lightning, Foxcub and Tiradia at Worcester last week. That trio are hard to separate in this and preference is for POBS TROPHY. He's gone close on his last couple of starts, including at Sedgefield a week ago, and it could be his turn today. He'd earlier finished ahead of subsequent winner Catawollow at Market Rasen and the latter carries a 7lb penalty for that success while though Antonius Lad won a bumper at this track he has shown little over hurdles so far.
