      Verdict

      Spes Nostra arrives in the best form with a couple of course wins under his belt. But he steps up in trip off a higher mark today. Arizona John scored over 1m4f at Pontefract last May but was tailed off on his recent reappearance when Flying Power was also well beaten. The latter should have done better dropped in class last time and Wildomar remains out of sorts, so the vote goes to LINEMAN. He ran well off today's mark when third to The Lock Master recently and gets another chance to add to his earlier course and distance victory.
