      Verdict

      Hurdles winner JOHN REEL went close over a mile here last time. This longer trip should not be a problem and he gets the vote. Bumper winner Direct Approach was well beaten on his debut under Flat rules recently but Cropley made the frame over 2m at Chepstow earlier this year. Silver Songstress finished closer in a bumper last time and it would be no surprise to see a better effort from the Sea The Stars colt Royal Battalion as he steps up in distance.
