        Verdict

        Elusive Hawk scored over 6f at Kempton a week ago and has done all his winning so far over that trip. Valdaw is another recent winner over 6f but has gone very close over today's distance before and may well figure. The Happy Hammer is another with claims along with Yankee Storm, upped only 2lb for his win at Wolverhampton last month. Sannibel is not out of this either having failed to handle the Fibresand last time but a tentative vote in an open affair goes to WEST LEAKE. He ended a long losing run with victory over course and distance last month and remains on a winning mark for this.
