        Verdict

        In a tricky finale, Jimmy The Guesser is likely to play a prominent part, but Pieter Brueghel is nominated to follow up some consistent efforts by taking this, with Quiet Times the other to note. Having finished runner-up at Lingfield, Quite Times put a losing run of two years behind him when scoring in decisive fashion at Wolverhampton last time. Only raised a pound for that win he can go well here. Jimmy The Guesser hasnt won since April but hasnt dropped down the handicap as he has been running well in defeat. His last run was a case in point as he finished a good second over the course and distance and will be hard to keep out of the frame. Pieter Brueghel hasnt won for a year and a half but ran well in defeat last time over the minimum trip. Unlike some of his rivals he has dropped down to what looks a winning mark and can improve on his second last time over this furlong longer trip that has seen him successful previously. Pieter Brueghel looks set to score.
