        Verdict

        This is a poor race and it can go to Buz Kiri ahead of Margaret's Wish. The selection has only ever won on Wolverhampton's all-weather surface but each of those victories has been gained this year. Accordingly, he comes here fit and well and, although he has no form on soft, does act on good to soft. As we say, it's a poor race and at least he has proven he can trouble the judge. Of the others, Margaret's Wish has bits of form and a market move for course hurdling winner Pharly Reef would be interesting as he hails from a canny stable. However, the horse has yet to win on the Flat. Tyrrellspass finished second in a selling hurdle here last time out, which gives a good indication of the calibre of opposition that the selection, Buz Kiri, faces.
