        Verdict

        Michael Wigham appears to have found a decent opportunity for Bethanys Boy to gain a ninth career success; he may have most to fear from Global Traffic and Nabir. The selection is a dual course and distance winner who comes here on the back of a decent effort over an extended nine furlongs at Wolverhampton. He's entitled to come on for that run, his first since October, and has an obvious chance at the weights. Global Traffic can be forgiven his latest start as he failed to see out the trip but, back in distance at a course he's run well at in the past, a better display can be expected here. Nabir has been struggling in the main over fences but appreciated the return to racing on the level when going close in a course and distance claimer. That run earns him a place on the short-list but Bethanys Boy appeals as the likelier winner.
