        Verdict

        Bengal Bullet stands out here ahead of King Of Swing, Th'moons A Balloon and Timpani. The selection bounced back to winning form in a similar event at Newton Abbot last time, travelling sweetly for today's rider, Tabetha Cave, and can follow up if in the same mood. King Of Swing is nothing more than run-of-the-mill but has form enough to bag some money, with Th'moons A Balloon and Timpani, who did pretty well over hurdles in 2002, given similar chances. Overall, though, Bengal Bullet can fire Tabetha Cave to victory once again.
