      Verdict

      O'Maley gets the vote here ahead of Polinamix and Nation State. The selection won well over the course and distance last time out and whilst he has a penalty to contend with today, a big run can be expected. The ground should be similar to when he won last time out and with further improvement to come over fences he can win again. Silver Serg was modest over hurdles but is at least unexposed over fences, whilst Polinamix represents a stable in good form and needs respect on his chasing debut for a stable who are very canny. Nation State disappointed last time out when pulled up at Newbury when taking on the impressive Hobbs Hill, however now in more suitable company he could go well although the step up in trip is not guaranteed to suit. We will return to O'Maley then to take the race.
