      Verdict

      Hilbre Court, Dhhamaan and Ace Of Spies are the trio to fight out this prize and Hilbre Court gets the confident vote. Brian Meehan's stable have been in flying form at Dunstall Park this winter and they look to have found another solid chance of picking up a pot this evening. Hilbre Court brings a flawless record to the table and impressed greatly when giving weight and a beating to an odd-on hotpot in his latest outing. Dhhamaan won in first time visor but has been beaten since. The formbook suggests that there is a bit to do. Ace Of Spies was quietly fancied on debut at Lingfield. The performance was fair given the quality of opposition. Ceka Dancer failed last week and was greatly flattered by the margin of loss. Dinarius has shown nothing of note. A gilt edged chance for Hilbre Court.
