      Verdict

      Recent form is thin on the ground with BOBBY DOVE the notable exception after useful runner-up efforts at Newton Abbot and Chepstow the last twice. The ground has to be a possible question mark but he has won on the soft and his young 7lb conditional has been seen to good effect on more than one occasion this term. The Fraam gelding looks the safest option. The remainder are hardly in the best of form but Goochypoochyprader could be the one to bustle up the selection if recapturing the best of his 2013 form. Zero Visibility is tentatively suggested as next best as he may have a little improvement in him despite being out of the handicap.
