      Verdict

      The veteran HALLSTATT just edges this at the weights. He scored over 2m on the Flat at Wetherby last year and has won over course and distance before. Another old timer in King Olav also won over 2m when successful at Chelmsford last month beating a subsequent winner in the process while What A Party has gone close over shorter trips in selling races at Lingfield of late. Four Nations scored over track and trip last year and drops in class but it's been some time since either Astra Hall or Thimaa won a race.
