      Verdict

      Only six runners in this but it's a competitive little handicap. LIVIA'S DREAM came up against an improving sort in Willow Beck at Newmarket after winning over this trip at Newcastle and is fancied to see off the latter's stablemate Nautilus. He didn't appear to get home over 1m4f at HQ last time and is still racing with the choke out. Stamina may be a problem for Jack Who's He but Discay has won over the trip at Musselburgh and Beverley lately and will make a bold bid to defy his penalty. The maiden Hassle is preferred to winning hurdler Taaresh of the others.
