      Verdict

      It’s difficult to make a case for many of these on recent form and HANDSOME BOB is only a token selection. The trip is an unknown but he was placed at Wolverhampton last year when 13lb higher. Sunhill Lad was second over 1m on heavy going at Pontefract as a two-year-old and placed twice over this trip on the all-weather in the spring so looks the pick of the remainder.
