      Verdict

      Nothing makes much appeal in this but HAIL TIBERIUS has at least had a recent run, finishing second in an all-weather claimer over 2m at Southwell on Tuesday. He notched a double in October and may be more match-fit than the returning Ussee and Val D'Allier, who has been absent since running My Oh Mount Brown to a neck at Towcester in October. Should I Stay isn't really getting any better but Tenby Jewel is dropped in class and could play a part.
