    Verdict

    Forever Dream, Wild Power, Fast Mix and Penny Pictures are the principles in this handicap hurdle with the confident vote going to Wild Power. The selection would have won last time out had his jockey ridden more vigorously when beaten a neck by Imtihan. The latter has since franked the form and although he has been raised 10lbs for that defeat, he is taken to score with the capable Alan O'Keefe taking off 3lbs. Forever Dream rates the main danger on his latest third behind the well-handicapped Hot Shots, but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on his last run so is passed over on this occasion. Martin Pipe sets a poser by running both Fast Mix and Penny Pictures. Fast Mix was beaten when falling two out behind Rydon Lane last time, while Penny Pictures may be in the handicapper's grip, so in a race that throws up more questions than answers we will side with Wild Power.
