      Verdict

      This is the most valuable event on the card and His Nibs can give weight and a beating to his seven rivals, the best of which may be Joshua's Bay and Commanche General. Venetia Williams trains this lightly raced six-year-old who has just two modest Folkestone victories under his belt. However he wasn't disgraced in some decent handicaps last season and today¿s opposition doesn¿t appear to be that strong. Joshua's Bay fell at the final flight at Cheltenham last time, but was well held at the time, prior to that he was an impressive winner of a moderate event at Plumpton and must rate a big danger. Commanche General was also impressive in an ordinary race at Market Rasen back in March, but on this occasion His Nibs is expected to lord it over his rivals.
