Verdict

Longstone Lass has shot up the ratings with two recent victories but should still go close in this very open handicap, however Deja Vu appears to have the stronger form and is taken to beat Magico and Green 'n' Gold. Howard Johnson's colt is improving at a rate of knots and landed a competitive handicap at Sedgefield last time. He beat Little Big Horse in that event with so much ease he should have no trouble defying his latest penalty. Magico is a consistent sort in this company and put in another fine effort when third to Gospel Song here last time, he should be in the frame again today. Green 'n' Gold won a modest contest at Cartmel in August, and although well behind the selection last time he does enjoy a massive weight pull and could find his way into the places. Along with Longstone Lass, The Names Bond can also be given a chance on recent form, however Deja Vu could still be a fair way ahead of the handicapper and gets the vote.
