    Verdict

    Neville's Cross is flattered by his form figures as he's twice been second in three-runner fields and only beat two rivals at Hereford in November. DANNY KIRWAN has also been successful in small fields though won well at Ascot and should have no problems with the longer trip on this ground. Gortroe Joe is also stepping up in trip but easily won a 2m4f handicap here in November and is only 3lb higher. Twenty Twenty has been improving throughout the winter and has only been raised 2lb for a course and distance victory last month though could do with some rain.
