    Verdict

    Ten Down, Hurricane Hen and Orange Square form the shortlist in this claimer and the vote is given to Ten Down. The selection is on the hat-trick bid and although he only won by a neck when beating Bazguy at Lingfield last time, he looks to be on the upgrade and we think he can win again. He also has the plum draw which is a big bonus for this frontrunner. Hurricane Hen disappointed in a handicap last time but he had run well previously in a maiden here and he has to be respected now that he is dropped down to this grade. Orange Square is closely-matched with Hurricane Hen based on a run here earlier in the month, but he has not really gone on from that effort and he looks to have regressed. A Wish For You usually reserves his best for Wolverhampton, while Mick Quinn's newcomer Hardcase is certainly worth a look in the market. However, we will return to Ten Down who can continue his hot streak.
