        Verdict

        Another hard one to call but Dante Boy is a dour stayer and he may have a little too much resilience for Simber Hills, who is capable but has often been overhauled in a finish. Although Jaribu and Ronans Choice are others that are worthy of consideration and have claims on the pick of their from. Whereas Sporting Chance, Keltic Lord and Traditional have a little to prove as all have poor completion rates from this term. Therefore, it may be best to concentrate on Dante Boy and Simber Hills to fight out the finish and, as the former is the better suited to the predicted ground conditions, he gets the vote. Dante Boy also has some valuable course experience to his name and has a sold profile to back-up his claims.
