        Verdict

        SUNSET BOULEVARD showed a good attitude to win last time and is fancied to strike again; Corlough Mountain, Black Tor Figarro and She's So Pretty make up the shortlist. Tor Sturgis has a decent strike-rate at the track and punters who have followed her horses blind here will be in profit. This gelding, a son of Montjeu, held on well last time out at the track and with a good strike-rate on the all-weather, he might be worth backing again. Gary Moore's pair at the top of the weights both command respect, but it is perhaps She's So Pretty who has the more appealing profile. The mare has won her last two starts and she should run well again despite a three month break and her all-weather runs coming at Kempton. Wester Lodge ran a more promising race last time out after a break and it was a much improved effort on his hurdles runs when previously seen in the winter of 2006/7. Corlough Mountain has a penalty for his recent Kempton win and comes here in good form but he has put is some very mixed efforts here in the past. They All Laughed is now attractively handicapped as he is now 4lbs lower than his last winning mark, but his best efforts have come on the fibresand at Southwell. Black Tor Figarro is interesting returning from an absence, but in an open start to the card, it is Sunset Boulevard who can walk it.
