        Verdict

        PRODUCER was a very tidy winner over C&D last month. That form was nothing out of the ordinary and he's gone up 10lb since but Richard Hannon's colt is still clearly heading in the right direction and can complete his hat-trick. Hannon also saddles Tidy Affair, another recent C&D winner, but he's more exposed while a penalty may be too much to overcome for Pitt Rivers. Pride And Joy wasn't disgraced in a hot nursery over a mile at Doncaster last time, however, while Maroosh wasn't beaten far on a return visit to Newmarket last month and also warrants respect.
