      Verdict

      Fifty Ball is well up to this level at his best and ran well for a long way in a Class 2 handicap at Fontwell on his return from a break. Halondo, a winner at Market Rasen in March, appeared to find this trip too far back there a couple of weeks later. BELLS OF PETERBORO has not won for a very long time but he has been mainly competing in a slightly higher grade so gets the vote. Whydah Gally looked a decent prospect when scoring twice over hurdles early last year but has yet to make his mark over fences. Burrows Park would be up to adding to his six victories if at his best but it is a long time since he showed any real form.
