        Verdict

        Town Crier can make amends here and is chosen to beat Alam and Parknasilla. Sue Smith's ten-year-old made an uncharacteristic error at Haydock last time and paid the penalty. He went off long odds on in that contest following two impressive efforts at Aintree and Wetherby and with a clear round today he should be too good for these. Alam landed a fair contest at Hexham last month before finishing a disappointing fourth at Ayr. He may have found the trip against him on that occasion and we may see a better performance now he drops back in distance. Parknasilla was a pretty decent hurdler last term and looks a very interesting recruit to this game, watch the market for any clues where this one is concerned. Benbyas is a very capable performer on his day and may prove best of the remainder, however Town Crier has a touch of class and is taken to regain winning ways
