Verdict

MIGHTY FIGHTER (11) finished off nicely over 6f here last time out and stepping out to 7f now looks a good move. The form out of that race has worked out well and he looks ready to explode now. Can land in a midfield position and get over the top to secure his maiden victory. FRANCIS MEYNELL (9) was no match for a dominant winner at this track and trip last time out when sitting on the speed. Purton now takes control and he should be prominent again from a good draw. Will give them something to chase. PRESTIGE HALL (12) stormed home from the back of the pack to just miss over 1.5L when getting well back from the wide draw. His recent figures stack up in this event and the rise to 7f looks a good move now. Can put his best foot forward. SKY DEEP (4) will be better for the fresh run where he was sound off a very long break. Out to his preferred track and trip now and he can turn in an improved effort.
