      Verdict

      Bedouin Blue can win this with Musango and Shaydreambeliever both worth noting. The selection won two handicaps eighteen months ago but has been lightly raced since. His form of late looks the best on offer here and if able to come back to his best he will take the beating. Of his rivals Mustango will pose as the biggest danger. He was a winner at Lingfield on his penultimate run and although beaten at the same track thereafter he ran a fair race to finish third. His form on the Lingfield all weather reads well but he is yet to run on the Southwell surface which raises question marks. Shaydreambeliever has form on the flat and over hurdles but his reappearance run was well below par so has to be treated with caution. So for the winner we return to Bedouin Blue.
