    Verdict

    Geeveem gets the vote in this moderate contest to open the card, with Heavy Weather and Hobbs Hill rated as the main dangers. The selection catches the eye on breeding and anything that Paul Nicholls sends to post in these type of events is entitled to plenty of respect. This race won't take much winning and if the market vibes are positive then it should pay to take the hint. Heavy Weather has got decent point-to-form and he rates as the main dangers. If the Nicholls horse fails to fire then he could be the one to profit. Hobbs Hill won his bumper in decent style last time, but that was a weak race and he looks the type who will do better over fences in time. Sir Pandy and Outside Half are also worth considering for each-way players, but for the winner we will stick with Geeveem.
