      Verdict

      A weak handicap and whilst HARD BALL is not one for the mortgage he should still see off Nabeeda and Mojeerr if in the same mood as when last seen. Mick Quinn's son of Pivotal won nicely from Royal Keva a month ago and he seemed to revel on this surface. A 3lb higher mark looks manageable and from a good draw he is taken to prevail. Mr Fantozzi is dropping down the weights and can contest a 0-52 handicap for the first time, Nabeeda has a solid record at the track without winning, whilst Mojeerr has some solid form to his name, especially his third to Sircozy. Artesium tries the blinkers, Megalo Maniac is out of form, whilst Mister Incredible looks to be nicely-handicapped if getting it all together. An open race, where Hard Ball can triumph.
