      Verdict

      Ocean Du Moulin is our selection in this affair with Quarry Town and Dhedaah likely to give him most to do. The selection is top rated on figures and while his supporters had to take a massive disappointment at odds of 2/7 at Worcester - there is a chance to atone providing that there isn't too much rain lurking around. Quarry Town was an improving hurdler for Henrietta Knight. He won well at Stratford and looks the type who will be winning more in the future. Dhedaah is arguably better with plenty of give in the ground. He can make the odd mistake and his recent outing at Market Rasen was a tad disappointing given his previous effort at Huntingdon. Here To Eternity was a plating hurdler prior to being sent pointing and it would be a major shock were he to find stones of improvement. Masterpoint was a 125/1 shot on his sole chasing start and was pulled up. The bookies are likely to be happy to accomodate any takers. This looks a match on paper between Ocean Du Moulin and Quarry Town and we are with the first named.
