        Verdict

        Hillbilly Cat gets the confident vote to win this claimer with Glenargo and Arzaag rating the main dangers. The selection has won his last two races in good style notably when beating Bold Argument last time out. This looks easier and with a little in hand on official bhb figure he will be hard to beat. Glenargo rates the main danger on his latest third behind Shara's Art but he remains a maiden and is passed over fore that reason. Arzaag is another that could go well but he has been slightly disappointing of late and first time blinkers will need to bring about a revival if her is to score. Of the remainder Charley's Aunt is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but Hillbilly Cat sets a fair standard and he is taken to win again.
