    Verdict

    Beverley winner HAL OF A LOVER finished a place in front of Cotton Grass when runner-up at Hamilton last week. David O'Meara's charge is fancied to confirm that running on the same terms and take this reunited with winning partner Silvestre De Sousa. Purkab and Silver Tigress are both struggling to score off their current marks, though the latter looks more likely to be suited by today's longer trip and could come out best of that duo.
