          In depth

          Verdict

          A wide open handicap hurdle here with many in form rivals in opposition including Keep Smiling, Irishkawa Bellevue and Glacial Evening and we will side with Keep Smiling. The gelding from the Venitia Williams yard was a fair third behind Gallant Eye last time and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat if he can reproduce that effort. Irishkawa Bellevue has been in good form of late and was a good second behind Count Tony last time. However he ran as if in the handicappers grip and for that reason he is opposed. Glacial Evening is also worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Here Comes Harry last time and he is still lightly raced so he could go well. Sandywell George won well last time out when defeating Fullards but he will find this harder under his penalty, but in a tight handicap we are happy to side with Keep Smiling.
