        Verdict

        This is easily the best contest on the card and can go to the top weight FIRST MOHICAN (NAP). Alan King's charge ran well for second in this grade at Lingfield in January with subsequent winner Winterlude back in fifth. There was little between third-placed Paddys Motorbike and Masterpaver at Lingfield last week and both make more appeal than recent 1m2f winner Spes Nostra, who should have the beating of Sbraase on collateral form. Castilo Del Diablo is not getting much help from the handicapper, despite a long losing run, while Wordiness has something to prove at this level on his first start since October.
