Verdict

An open look to this with last week's scorer Our Manekineko looking up against it in the bid to follow up of new mark and dropped in trip. He should run his race however, which is more than can be said for some of these. Alans Pride improved last time out and could take a leading role if building on that in just his third start for current yard. Captain Midnight ran well a fortnight ago and should get involved again but the vote goes to SHEPHERDS CROOK on the back of a promising return last week. He drops to 7f for this and is entitled to mound a bold bid. Twistsandturns is another that could go well if reproducing November's form, when landing a fourth course success. 1. Shepherds Crook 2. Alans Pride 3. Our Manekineko
