        Verdict

        Howardian Hills has only won once, an all-weather claimer, but was second at Salisbury last month on his return to Turf. He’s only a pound higher, though the winner has done little for the form since. He was also more than five lengths behind GENERAL BROOK at Kempton at the start of the year, though is 12lb better off. John O’Shea’s runner improved again to score at Lingfield last month and looks the one to beat, though Diamond Reflection was third in that Kempton race and has each-way claims. Avocadeau won here last year but has been well below par in two runs this season.
