      Verdict

      This doesn't look a race in which to get too heavily involved. Beau Phil will probably be favourite but is now 0-10. However, he does have the highest official rating and could probably run around here blindfolded, though has something to find with VERYGOODVERYGOOD on latest form. Paul Morgan's charge was again placed at Worcester next time and this is a much weaker race. Oscar Fiain is even more exposed than the aforementioned pair and Bilidn hasn't run over hurdles since February of last year.
