        Verdict

        Little Richard, Halcyon Magic and Mr Dip are the leading players here and the vote is given to Mr Dip. The selection is in good form and was unlucky last time out when he was travelling sweetly before being hampered at Wolverhampton when fourth behind Debbie. With a little more luck in running here he should take the world of beating. Little Richard and Halcyon Magic both finished in front of our selection last time but we think that Mr Dip had the measure of them before he was hampered, so it would be a surprise if he can¿t reverse the placings here. Dancing Tilly is of interest as he failed to see out the trip at Southwell last time and back over this more suitable distance he has to be respected. Quest On Air is another with claims on the pick of his form, but for the winner we return to Mr Dip.
