Verdict

Top weight POGUE impressed when winning at Doncaster last time out and he can register a second victory over fences by taking this novices' handicap event. The selection has a top jockey in the saddle and he can see off chasing debutant She'sasupermack who can take second spot ahead of First Account who can finish runner-up on his first start since joining his current stable.
