      Verdict

      West End has only found one too good in three of his last four starts but is struggling to get his head in front. Time Is Tickin is still a maiden under Rules but has been placed twice here while Alla Svelta was second over this trip at Newton Abbot last month. HERECOMESTHETRUTH may be a teenager but showed he retains plenty of enthusiasm when second over hurdles here last month. He will be a threat to all if transferring that form back to fences. Top Chief has become disappointing and is now tried in blinkers.
