        Verdict

        A tricky way to kick things off and betting interest should be kept to the minimum as there is plenty of scope elsewhere on the card. Fool On The Hill is weighted to reverse recent form with Porak and comes into the race with strong claims after a string of decent efforts. However, he still looks to be a little vulnerable on these terms and has questions to answer with regard to the trip. Rutland Chantry is another to have solid enough claims on the pick of his form and has been consistent throughout a busy campaign this term. in contrast, Red Lion seems to have reached his peak for the season and just gets the TEAMtalk vote ahead of Danakil and Hattington. The lightly-weighted Figura also makes some appeal as an outsider, but only a small stakes each way interest is recommended.
