        Verdict

        Scutch Mill looks the one here with Gigs Magic and Hilltime the two big dangers. The selection can improve from his third at Warwick and has had a couple of fine efforts over jumps recently to prove his well being. He seems a versitile type and is taken to get back to winning ways. Gigs Magic is another consistent type and has not been beaten far in his last three runs. He was a winner on the all weather last month too so comes here in fine fettle. Hilltime has a little to prove as he has not run on the level for somtime but he has been running well over jumps this spring so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Scutch Mill.
