Verdict

It's tempting to row in with Neighbourhood but the Evans gelding has a love affair with Southwell and has yet to win anywhere else. He's still afforded a place on the shortlist though but FUZZY LOGIC, in good form under both codes, is preferred. He landed a Ffos Las hurdle nine days ago so is clearly in great heart and a strong showing is anticipated in receipt of weight from all rivals. Chapter Five has yet to score on the Flat but has gone well the last twice over this trip and rates a leading player off an unchanged mark. Queen's Star has been unplaced on both starts in 2013 but would have every chance if recapturing 2012 form.
