      Verdict

      Outcrop has been hurdling since winning a seller at Chepstow last year while Berlusca goes well here but this more difficult than his recent tasks. Laqab and Save The Bees have yet to show any improvement for a tumble down the weights and Mach One steps up in trip after modest efforts over a mile. Savannah Moon would prefer some cut in the ground but MAROC should make a bold bid on the back of recent improved efforts and may come out best racing off the same mark as when runner-up at Newbury on his penultimate start.
