          Verdict

          This is the most competitive race on the card so it is with just a little confidence that Stolen Song is chosen to beat Salinas, Arm And A Leg and Dabus. Mick Ryan's four-year-old was gelded over the winter and it did the trick as he showed much better resolution to win a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon in March. His wasn't disgraced next time behind Brave Dane at Ludlow and following some consistent efforts recently on the flat he could be ready to go in again. Salinas and Dabus come here in good heart after they both won over the bank holiday at Cartmel, and they should be in the shake up again today. Arm And A leg also holds very strong claims, he ran up a quick hat-trick before finishing a gallant second to Whaleef after making a hash of the second last. So all in all a very tricky contest, but Stolen Song is weighted to go very close.
