    Verdict

    A seller that is a rarity in itself with four of the five runners having a recent win against their names and Magic Amour gets the vote here, with Nautical, High Reach and Soba Jones to fight out the minors. Paul Blockley's Magic Amour scored here over 7f in a seller last week and was unable to follow up in claiming company over c&d last time. However, the return to a seller will help him and at the weights he has a better chance than most, at a trip he can win at. Nautical took a 6f Wolverhampton seller a couple of starts ago but was well held back in handicap company last time. Again he should enjoy the drop in grade. Soba Jones arrives chasing a hat-trick and would therefore not be a surprise winner. Those wins both came over c&d in handicap and claiming company and he is on good terms with himself, so despite being poorly off at the weights he might still be capable of going close. High Reach steps back up in trip after a 5f win here but doesn't seem as effective over this trip these dyas and preference is for Magic Amour.
