        Verdict

        Another tough one to call but Ballyhurry, who is holding his form well, is selected over Beauteous and Mister Rambo, who both hold solid each way claims on the pick of their form. However, Ballyhurry has a very good attitude to racing and is as tough as they come when the chips are down. Beauteous has the ability to go close and should make a bold bid to follow up last week's success at Carlisle, but faces no easy task under 6lb extra. Mister Rambo can usually be relied upon to run his race but his capabilities are well known to all at this stage of his career and he is not certain to be the same proposition back in handicap company. Mr Bountiful also has a little to prove at this level so Ballyhurry does look to be the safest option today.
