Race Verdict
SALOMO barely had to break into a sweat to score on his handicap debut in bottomless conditions at Wincanton last week and, providing tonight's much faster surface isn't an inconvenience, he should be able to defy a 7lb penalty. Sporting Boy looks an obvious danger on the back of his all-the-way Wincanton success, while Millers Reef is certainly no forlorn hope switching from fences to hurdles.
Selection: Salomo
Danger: Sporting Boy
Alternative: Millers Reef
