      Verdict

      There's a chance that Ten Down and Baytown Blaze may go off too fast as they battle for the lead which could allow Valhillen through to land the spoils. The selection takes his racing well and has shown steady improvement throughout the winter. He couldn't be said to be well handicapped but he has a solid chance and his jockey claims a useful 3 pounds. Ten Down is on a roll and has won all three races by blazing away from the front. He should go close if getting his own way in front but Baytown Blaze has employed similar tactics in the past and the pair may become embroiled in a battle for the lead. The other three runners have their fitness to prove and have just one all-weather run between them; consequently they have a little to prove but should be watched closely in the market. Valhillen is our idea of the winner though.
