        Verdict

        Selecto ran moderately at Southwell on Sunday but has won twice here, as has Steel Helmet, though the latter hasn't won since 2019. Strong Team is much better over hurdles and has never won on the level while Burnage Boy is 0-44 and has only been placed once in ten starts on the all-weather. BOBBY SHAFTOE was only beaten a head over 1m2f here last month then stepped up a grade to finish fourth over this trip. That looks good enough to land this very moderate opener.
