    Verdict

    Rare Bob is the only one of these without a win over hurdles but is weighted to go close on today's terms. However, it could pay to stick with the more recent form of GOLD CHAIN (NAP), a winner at Perth last month. That looks stronger form than the earlier victory of Mo Rouge at the same track and Dianne Sayer's charge gets the nod. Landchecker, Spirit Oscar and Total Assets are all returning from a lay-off with the latter making most appeal having won a handicap over track and trip in March.
