    Verdict

    HAAR looks a good bet to land this at the main expense of Spring Lover and Mizen Raven. Andrew Turnell's 5-year-old unseated his rider on his chasing debut but he left that running behind when chasing home Supreme Duke at Ludlow. He looks to have been found a good opportunity here and with ground conditions to suit he gets the pick. Spring Lover is a capable performer on his day but he has disappointed on his last two outings and he will need to raise his game if he is to get his head in front. Mizen Raven is stepped back up to a more suitable trip after staying-on to take third behind Cornas at Ludlow last time. There should be more to come and he has to be on the shortlist. Dream Falcon has got course and distance winning form and he can prove best of the others, but Haar showed enough last time to make him the one to beat today.
