      Verdict

      Fiesole has won over hurdles this year but still looks high enough in the weights in this code judged on a recent fourth at Kempton when ahead of Natty Night. BLUE MEDICI is preferred having scored three times on the Turf this year and placed over today’s trip at Kempton last time. Htilominlo finally got his head in front at Brighton in August only to be disqualified and demoted for bumping a rival while Willy Sewell won a novices’ event over a mile here back in March but was well beaten on a recent handicap debut. The Throstles and Liva arrive out of form.
