        Verdict

        Hallstatt finished runner-up in a similar event here last month with Riptide, Tuscan Gold and Madam Lilibet behind. The latter is a course regular but is best on slow ground while though Hurry Home Poppa, a stablemate to Hallstatt, scored at Catterick last time he has been well beaten in both starts over 2m this year. Mighty Missile has been in fine form over hurdles though has yet to win in 10 starts on the Flat and preference is for SAINT LUCY (NAP), a winner over 2m1f at Bath recently, with William Buick taking over the reins for this.
