        Verdict

        DANIEL THOMAS can follow up a recent course success at the principal expense of Via Mia and Just Jimmy. The gelding appears to have become much more consistent for the application of a visor and with Ryan Clark one of the more exciting 7lb claimers; hopes are high. Via Mia is tried in cheekpieces this afternoon. There have been one or two disappointing runs of late though a perusal at his old form suggests that he is worthy of one of the market leaders' positions. David Evans has his yard in good form so don't overlook Just Jimmy. He won two handicaps in December though has struggled off his current BHA rating. Alf Tupper has been well backed at this course previously. Sir George has performed with credit in plating company with astonishing regularity though this engagement sees him pitched against a much better grade of horse. Networker would be dangerous if staying the trip. Daniel Thomas can defeat them all.
