Verdict

Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading fancies but the principals look to be She's Our Native, Meggie's Lad, Borehill Joker, and Bobsbest and the vote is given to Meggie's Lad. The selection hails from a yard in top form and was a fair third behind Mulkev Prince last time out. The step up in trip should suit and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Borehill Joker rates the main danger as he remains well handicapped and he was a fair fourth behind Schuh Shine last time out. But he continues to be let down by his jumping and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. She's Our Native is another worthy of respect on her latest third behind Spring Lover but she looks vunerable to a less exposed sort. Bobsbest was a never nearer fourth behind Gray's Eulogy last time over three miles so the drop in trip does not look sure to suit. Of the remainder. High Peak looks well weighted on his best form but he may just need the run after a 302 day absence and for the winner we return to Meggie's Lad.
