      Verdict

      Classic Event gets the confident vote here with Rafelite and Paradise Flight the most likely dangers. The selection gave the impression that he was coming to hand when a fair third behind Toulouse Express over hurdles at Market Rasen. He returns to the level on a fair mark and should take plenty of beating. Rafelite was a decent second behind Cotton Easter at Bath last time but his overall form is modest and his previous efforts on fast ground have been disappointing. At the forecast odds he looks one to take on. Paradise Flight was well beaten last time but this mare is from a yard in great form and she would have claims on the pick of her efforts. Best Port is another who could go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with Classic Event.
