      Verdict

      Poetic Verse scored over hurdles last month having won over 1m4f on the Flat at Doncaster earlier. But he'll find today's trip short enough and SILVER ALLIANCE is preferred. The latter won over today's trip at Yarmouth in May while Frosty Berry went close in one of these events under today's rider at Newbury last week and can also figure. Jumper Kudu Country may be the pick of the remainder.
