    Verdict

    Yet another small field and it is ONE OF THE BOYS who can see off the three-pronged challenge of Evan Williams, the best of whom looks to be Dusk. In an all-Welsh affair, the selection is one of two horses that come into the race in good form. He impressed with the grit he showed to hold on at Fontwell last time out and he deserves a 7lb rise in the weights. He is unexposed still over fences and has the services of the talented Tom David aboard today claiming five pounds off his back. Dukedom makes his chasing debut today and needs to be watched for market support, Russeltown Boy is another Irish import who has a little to prove at present, and the more interesting rival is their stablemate Dusk. This son of Fantastic Light comes here on the back of a ready win at Fakenham and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop another bold bid. However he faces different conditions here today and so we will instead plump for top-weight One Of The Boys.
