        Verdict

        Divulge is an absolute thief, but such is the quality of the opposition, or more to the point lack of it, he is hard to get away from. He has several fair efforts to his name at this level and has managed to turn victory into defeat on more than one occasion. However, whilst we are reluctant to side with him, it is hard to find a suitable alternative. Proven on soft ground, Heathyards Friend has at least managed to get his head in front, but he has yet to tackle a fast surface over hurdles, and it may not suit as well. Scippit is well held by the selection on their running at Market Rasen last month, while Blue Hawk, the winner of a maiden handicap for Reg Hollinshead last year, will surely need this outing, his first for over a year. Bets should be kept to a minimum in this and while it goes against the grain to select Divulge, there is no suitable alternative.
