Verdict

Hill of Almhuim is selected ahead of Dynamic Rhythm and Scarlet Knight. Karl Burke's charge has dropped to an eye-catching mark and looked to be coming back to himself when third in a recent Chester handicap. Proven with some cut in the ground, a big run can be expected. Dynamic Rhythm is less exposed than most and has to be respected on handicap debut. Scarlet Knight is likely to be held up out the back and will attempt to be brought with a late swoop. Pigeon Island is yet to trouble the judge and as an inmate of the in-form Henry Candy yard, he must be respected. What Do You Know is upped in trip while Blu Manruna is dropped back to a mile having failed to stay ten furlongs. In a difficult race, Hill of Almhuim gets the nod.
