        Verdict

        Limited Reserve was in superb form over hurdles when last seen at the backend of last year winning two Class 2 handicaps on heavy ground at Haydock. If he handles this surface he'll be tough to beat. Escapability was having his first start for new connections when fourth at Kempton last month. He's stepping up slightly in trip which should suit while Alpasu has had three runs on Polytrack where he's looked as though he could do better on this stiffer track. HEART OF SOUL was having his first run since June and racing over a trip too short at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago. He's having his first run on this track but has a bit of scope and can gain his first success. Ranch Hand has a middle-distance pedigree and is a half-brother to an all-weather winner over this trip so he's one to note in the market.
