        Verdict

        Il Cavaliere has the best racecourse form of those on show though his record of four second places is a slight worry. However looking at the opposition he looks the one to be on and is the TEAMtalk selection. Forecast backers may want to look at Wainak who has run some consistent races of late including in a decent novices event at Cheltenham. Ferdy Murphy has his horses in good form at the moment so expect a solid run from his Muhami who, although not starting the season too promisingly, ran some decent races last year and could be back to his best following a short break. Another to consider could be Dream On Willie who has potential and should be able to improve following a useful performance at Carlisle last month.
