      Verdict

      Old favourite Fire Up The Band can win the seller at the expense of Guest Connections and Obe One. The selection has been in fine form in similar races of late finishing second on his last two starts. This looks an easier opportunity and if producing his best he ought to take all the beating. Dandy Nicholls will be keen to beat his old campaigner with Guest Connections. He has run well in some claimers this season but has also run disappointingly in better handicaps also. He will prefer this drop in grade and will be one to note in the betting market. Obe One is another that can run well after showing form in average handicaps and claimers this season. His strike rate of 2 wins from 78 runs is poor though so he not one to totally to rely upon. So for the winner we return to Fire Up The Band.
