    Verdict

    Brendan Powell runs both Waltzing Beau and Obay and the last named gets the verdict, Harrycat and Tell The Trees could provide most danger. The mount of Joe Tizzard put up a very promising display on his hurdles debut over course and distance, making the well regarded Verasi pull out all the stops. He can put that experience to good use here and this decent flat handicapper looks the one to be on. Stable companion Waltzing Beau ran no sort of race last time out, but had previously slaughtered his rivals over course and distance and he should be there or thereabouts this afternoon. Harrycat was well supported when finishing runner up to the smart Nation State last time and with further improvement should go very close here. Tell The Trees finished third to the unbeaten Yankeedoodledandy in a class B event at Cheltenham last time and although the form has taken a couple of knocks he should be capable of running into a place. Antigiotto has shown promise in two outings to date and should prove best of the remainder, but in a fascinating event we are just swayed towards Obay
