Verdict

KATPOLI impressed in winning last week and given he's due to go 10lb for that victory he remains an attractive proposition under a 7lb penalty. The selection represents a yard with a 28% strike-rate (5/18) in recent weeks and he can get the better of his rivals here with Pointed And Sharp capable of putting an unseat last time out behind him to take second place ahead of Dr Sanderson who can put a disappointing chase debut behind him to finish third.
  1. Katpoli
  2. Pointed And Sharp
  3. Dr Sanderson
