        Verdict

        Our Sheila, Cree, Snow Bunting and Dispol Katie are a handful against the field in a competitive handicap and the vote is given to Our Sheila. The selection has been in the form of hare life of late and won well last time out when beating Masion Dieu and although having a penalty for that win she looks a progressive type and is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Cree rates the main danger on his best form as he is very well handicapped but he has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Snow Bunting is another last time out winner that could go well as he beat Newsround with a little in hand last time,. However this looks more competitive and his penalty may just find him out. Dispol Katie hails from a yard in form and could go well at a price despite top weight. Of the others Bell Cantor looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we are happy to return to Our Sheila.
