        Verdict

        HOUSTON DYNIMO ran out an easy winner over 1m4f here last time in soft ground. He'd not been far away on a faster surface at Haydock before that under today's amateur and gets the nod. Talk Of Saafend is a regular in these events in between hurdling and has won two of her last three starts. She's a leading contender along with Cadgers Brig and Shy though Hi Dancer was placed over C&D last time and he's not without a chance once again.
