      Verdict

      Hibre Court can put his recent disqualification at Lingfield behind him and get back to winning ways at the expense of Talk of Saafend and Rockfield Tiger. The selection was dropping into claiming company for the first time when causing interference in the process of getting his head in front at Lingfield. If running up to the same level of form he should be difficult to beat. Talk of Saafend won a Nursery at Newmarket last season but has struggled of her current mark in handicaps of late. Connections have dropped her in grade for the first time and she therefore has to be respected. Rockfield Tiger won a handicap on the all weather in the winter but is another who has found life difficult in handicaps of late. Once again connections have dropped him in grade for the first time so he is one to note in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Hibre Court.
