        Verdict

        Toptempo is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having easily won a seller a year ago, though he's been in poor form over hurdles. Comedy House has won twice over longer trips here and often goes well on the track but it's OBBOORR who looks the one to be on. Tim Fitzgerald's charge scored over the trip at Kempton two years ago and hasn't had much racing subsequently. He would have finished closer in a better race than this at Wolverhampton last time but for being denied a clear run and can get back on the winning trail. Percella is another who didn't get the best of runs when placed here on Friday and she may be capable of better but Opera Buff, who is 0-18 on the all-weather, hasn't raced over a trip this short for almost two years. Ruzeiz was just touched off in a similar race over the track and trip in November and looks best of the remainder.
