        Verdict

        Wizard of Us can prevail in a trappy finale; the list of dangers is headed by Backlash and Santera. The selection returns to the level after a spell over hurdles, but he has shown enough on the flat in the past to get competitive here. He could be well-treated on some of his old form and he rates as the tentative choice. Backlash was a little disappointing at Kempton last time, but she had run well at a big price in a handicap previously at the same venue and if she reproduces that run here then she can go close. Santera was a fair second behind Qaasi here last time and this filly remains relatively unexposed so there could be more in the locker from her. Chart Oak finished behind Santera last time so looks to have a little to find today, and for the winner we will stick with Wizard Of Us.
