        Verdict

        Another tight handicap to solve here for punters but the TEAMtalk selection is Was a Drive he was third behind Bay Magic last time out when Sally's Twins was second. However he is better off at the weights with that rival here. Mighty Fine rates the main danger he won well over a shorter trip last time out and gave the impression he would do even better over this trip. The gelding is a good jumper and he will be hard to beat despite his penalty. Left Bank is well in on his best form but he has become frustrating and is passed over on this occasion. Hitchhiker would be a danger to all on his best form but he has been let down by his jumping of late and he will need to improve in that department to score. Charter Royal is a course winner who is well weighted on his best form but that is over a much longer trip and he may be outpaced here.
