    Verdict

    RAISE A SPARK is the obvious choice in this. Placed in both starts over hurdles last month, including when runner-up over track and trip last time, he arrives in much better form than both of today's rivals. Be A Dreamer has been placed over fences here on a couple of occasions this year but has failed to complete the last twice while Hattons Hill has been beaten out of sight in both starts over hurdles to date.
