      Verdict

      JOE JO STAR gets a confident vote in the finale to come out on top, ahead of Beaumont Boy and Willyn. The last named did not have the clearest of passages last time, but kept on to snatch third in a decent event. However, he is yet to win a handicap, and though he will come on for his seasonal debut, he was soundly beaten and may have to settle for a place again. Beaumont Boy is still a maiden in 19 attempts, but he ran well to be a decent fourth at Musselburgh last time. However, that was only a seller, and he may be outclassed here. Joe Jo Star took the classy Swinton Hurdle at Haydock and this is an unusual follow up. That was his third hurdles win of the season, and he has clearly made good progress since his last outing on the Flat, when second on the all-weather in January. Joe Jo Star can underline his advancement here.
