      Verdict

      This is not a strong affair and maybe Mags Two can score, but Dunlea and Quizzical have also to be considered. A repeat of Dunlea's fourth to Jurancon at Cheltenham last November gives him chances here. From the same stable, Quizzical has yet to win a race but has a number of placed efforts to his name, some of them in sellers. Mags Two's second over course and distance last time will give him supporters. Bath House Boy has won a race, but that was in 1998. Three runs back from an injury-induced absence have not been particularly auspicious. Pilot's Harbour won over three miles in May 2001 but has shown little in five runs since. It's modest and tricky. If Dunlea had had a run this season, we would probably have gone for him but, because he hasn't, maybe Mags Two can hold enough aces to gain the day.
