        Verdict

        Beau Roberto made a pleasing return to hurdles when chasing home San Dimas at Kelso last month. Subsequently disappointing back on the level, the eight-year-old may not be one to put any great faith in. Topweight Carousing faces a difficult task under 11st 12lb after a lengthy layoff and, in a poor contest, it is impossible to oppose the Nicky Richards-trained Paperprophet. The least exposed of these, the son of Glory Of Dancer may have been flattered in beating the useful Celtic Vision (winner at Southwell since) at Bangor last month but, off a a mark of 99, he looks well treated for his handicap debut and gets the TEAMtalk vote to win this.
