Verdict
A tight handicap with no recent winning form on show. HARDY BLACK may come out best on his earlier fourth over track and trip with first-time headgear applied today. Sixties Love has been getting closer on the Turf and wasn't beaten far at Bath in October while Hill Of Dreams scored off a 2lb lower mark over track and trip back in March. Guesshowmuchiloveu has slipped 8lb down the weights in a short-space of time and may figure while Gracious George was placed at Sandown off a higher mark earlier this year.
