        Verdict

        Some top stables represented here including the in form Martin Pipe and we will side with his entry Rose Of The Hill, with Grouse Moor and New Times put forward as the main dangers. The selection showed plenty of promise when finishing a six length third behind Progressive in a fascinating race at Plumpton earlier this month. He will have learnt plenty from that outing and should go close against this opposition. Progressive's trainer Jonjo O'Neill runs New Time, winner of a Stratford bumper, who was well beaten on his hurdles debut. The ground was bottomless on that occasion and we should see a better performance today. Grouse Moor easily landed a handicap of a mark of 88 last time and he should go well today, but he does have to give his rivals seven pounds. Of the others Richard Rowe's newcomer Touch Of Fate should be watched in the market as Timmy Murphy takes the ride, but for the winner we return to Rose Of The Hill.
