        In depth

        Verdict

        In a race that lacks strength in depth, Loita Hills is sected ahead of Hot Zone. Hot Zone finished second in a Market Rasen handicap off a mark of 104 last time out, and that reads as competitive form here. Loita Hills won handicap here off a mark of 108 last time, and that type of form, for us, makes him the one to beat today. Heather Dalton's Longwood Law, a point-to-point winner, and Venetia Williams' Shannonvale, also a point-to-point scorer, are two maybe to have a look at in the betting but, in truth, it is hard to build strong cases for the others. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Loita Hills, who can land the hat-trick here.
