        Verdict

        Battle Of Wills has won over a mile here and over the trip elsewhere but his last success was in a Naas maiden hurdle two years ago. Percy Willis is still a maiden after 13 starts though has been placed at Wolverhampton on three recent occasions but it's about time WADACRE GOGO was winning again. He completed an all-weather double in August and is just 4lb higher than when scoring over the trip on Tapeta at Wolverhampton. Walkonby, four-times a winner on Turf, has been well beaten in two all-weather starts.
