        Verdict

        A very ordinary selling handicap can go to Delaware, who is selected in preference to Boom Or Bust and Penny's Crown, who lead the challenge of the rest. The latter ran no sort of race in the contest that the selection failed to complete in here last month - eventually finishing tailed off. The Reprimand mare had previously shown a couple of bits of form that would give her place claims in an average race like this though, and she can go well for each way players. Boom Or Bust has been very hard to win with on both the flat and over jumps, but also holds place on the pick of his efforts. His close up fourth in a conditional riders' race at Wincanton in April is an indication of what he can do when his mind is on the job and he is also worth bearing in mind as an alternative. Royal Prodigy has gone well here in the past and could also figure prominently. However, he has never been the most reliable of performers and, as an ex-inmate of Martin Pipe's, it is reasonable to assume that he holds very few surprises up his sleeve for Delaware to be wary of. Pipe has managed to coax three previous wins out of the eight-year-old since his arrival from France and he has found a good opportunity to expand upon the haul in this very modest company today.
