        Verdict

        Heathyards Pride is consistent enough and can gain due reward at the expense of Romil Star, Sun Hill and Peak Park to name but three. Judged on his last three outings, most recently here at Southwell, Heathyards Pride has been crying out for this sort of trip, having been found wanting at the end of his races after starting slowly. He has yet to prove that he stays, but we are prepared to take that chance. Romil Star gained his seventh course win when scoring over a mile and a half in lowly company here last week, and may run better than in this event last year when only 10th. Doveden Hero was second in this last year, while Trance was fourth, and both are worth a mention at least. Sun Hill turned the tables on Peak Park when scoring over the track and trip a fortnight ago and is another whose stamina is not in question, so he will have his fair share of support, but we are happy to pin our hopes on Heathyards Pride staying the distance.
