        Verdict

        Another tough race to call here for punters with not much between many of the rivals on official Bhb ratings however the principals look to be Anyhow, Itsonlyagame and Regal Gallery and the tentative vote goes to Itsonlyagame. The five-year-old only won a maiden last time out when defeating Vanila Moon and although this looks much tougher he is taken to win again as he won in the style of an improver. Anyhow is game and consistent and goes well over course and distance but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time so is opposed on this occasion. Regal Gallery could also go well he won a handicap over course and distance when defeating Ember Days last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Of the remainder Welsh Wind was an unlucky in running third behind Gold Guest last time and he is another that would be a danger to all if her got the run of the race. Noble Calling has been in fair form over hurdles of late and he is another to consider but in a race full of imponderables where stakes should be kept to a minimum we will side withItsonlyagame.
