        Verdict

        True To Yourself is in good heart at present and can take this ordinary contest from Worlaby Dale and Time Marches On. James Given's colt dead heated with All Bleevable here last week after looking as though he was going to cruise in. He tired in the final furlong of that mile and six event and this slight drop in trip should be ideal. Worlaby Dale returned from a spell over timber to finish a well beaten fourth at Wolverhampton last month. He much prefers this Southwell surface and has place claims on his best form. Time Marches On will be a big threat to all if he can show the same ability on the all-weather as he has shown over hurdles recently. He has landed handicaps at Catterick and Newcastle in the last couple of months and although his previous ventures to Wolverhampton were fruitless he may have since improved. Staff Nurse was a consistent sort last year and may do best of the remainder, but True To Yourself should be suited by ground and trip and gets a confident vote.
