Verdict

Verdict

A small field but a race where anything can happen. HEROIC ACT must have a chance as he ran one of his best races last time and looks well placed. But he has had 24 attempts to crack his maiden and is one to be wary of. GREEN MACHINE hasn't done badly and could be ready for a career best effort in his third run after a rest. THOONSIL has something to find with HEROIC ACT on the last meeting but that was his first run after gelding and he didn't get the best of starts. He should be at peak fitness now. COMIC ARTIST can build on a creditable last effort.

Top Tip: Green Machine (1)
Watch out for: Thoonsil (2)
