        Verdict

        Harry George missed the whole of last year having completed a hat-trick of course wins in 2018. He’ll be sharper for a couple of recent outings at Wolverhampton but Hunters Step was successful in a lowly Class 7 contest here in January with Perfect Soldier back in fourth. Spark Of War’s recent second came over 1m4f while Reverberation has just the one win in 27 starts so far. MANGO CHUTNEY hasn’t won for a while but recent good efforts over track and trip suggests he’s slipped far enough down the weights to get his head back in front.
