        Verdict

        Rowley Hill, Reem Two and Harrycone Lewis are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Rowley Hill. The selection won well last time out when beating Magnifico and although having a penalty for that win he could still be ahead of the handicaper and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Reem Two rates the main danger on his best form but he is becomming hard to win with and is taken on with this in mind. Harrycone Lewis is well weighted over hurdles compared to fences and should be noted in the market while After Eight looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we returm to Rowley Hill to small stakes.
