      Verdict

      SWAMPFIRE is fancied to reverse Uttoxeter running with Roja Dove on today's terms with the softer going in his favour. He can also give weight away to Regal One, who was only beaten a short-head over this trip at Worcester at the start of the month but was well beaten over 2m4f at that track on Tuesday. Idlewild won a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick a year ago but has shown little since.
