        Verdict

        Hillhall, Magic Warrior and Diamond Dan are all shortlisted in this weak affair and the vote is given to Magic Warrior. The selection won three times in this grade last season and he scored in emphatic fashion on Tuesday when beating Wanna Shout on this track. He looks one to stay on the right side of and he gets the vote. Hillhall rates the main danger as he ran well when returning from a break last time when finishing second behind Abbeygate. He should come on for the run and if he is allowed an easy lead he could take plenty of pegging back. Diamond Dan finished behind Hillhall last time and he is in decent form of late so looks to hold a solid each-way chance. Ivorbella is lightly-raced and ran encouragingly last time so she is another to consider, but for the winner we are happy to return to Magic Warrior.
