    Verdict

    Dino Velvet has taken well to fences and Tikkinthebox has much more experience than his three rivals and has already won twice around here. MICK PASTOR beat a subsequent winner by 19 lengths at Southwell when last in action in June. Left on his own in a match earlier, he can complete his hat-trick on his handicap debut over fences. Ballinsker was pulled up on his chasing bow but should be capable of better.
