        Verdict

        Ballysicyos and Old Rouvel have a little in-hand of their rivals if the official BHB figures are to be taken on trust, but both have a few questions to answer with regard to their readiness for a battle. The former should strip fitter after his reappearance at Cheltenham last week but has disappointed on soft ground in the past. Whereas Old Rouvel has suffered leg problems in the past and may just need the outing after 237 days off the track. Sure Future has benefited from the tongue tie in his last few outings and should again run his race. However Oliver Cromwell makes plenty of appeal back on one of his favourite courses and can provide a touch of value in a tricky little contest. The trip and ground are in his favour and the likelihood of a strong pace will bring the best out of him.
