Verdict

OBSIDIAN VERSE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Wolverhampton last time so is fancied to capitalise on a lenient-looking mark and double his tally. Santiago Boy is feared most on the back of an improved second behind a thriving winner here last week, while Piazza and Slack Bob can't be discounted either in an open handicap.
