    Verdict

    Fair Breeze has been well beaten over hurdles recently and it's two years since she recorded her one and only win. Walter De La Mare was third at Warwick on his penultimate start but reverted to type here next time while Glens Wobbly really needs some help from the handicapper if he's going to get off the mark, though has been placed in five of his eight starts on Turf. VERTEUEX is the default selection, therefore, having got back to winning ways over a longer trip at Warwick. He has a 6lb penalty but has won off higher marks in the past.
