        Verdict

        Second twice here before missing the break at Southwell, Tasaaboq could easily give Simon Walker a quick double though has a poor draw. Ambitious Boy was hampered last time and could have each-way claims from near the foot of the handicap. Black Truffle won over this trip at Chelmsford last month and is a three-times winner around here, though over 7f. MR POTTER has done most of his racing over longer trips but his latest second at Chelmsford looks the best piece of recent form on offer and he’ll get every assistance from the saddle – Richard Guest’s gelding gets the nod.
