        Verdict

        Not a hugely competitive staying handicap and Dan's Heir looks good enough to see off his rivals with Jamaar, Arch Folly and Jolizero others to consider. The selection is 1lb higher than when last seen out on the flat, on that occasion finishing runner up here over 12 furlongs almost a year ago. He acts with cut and has proved his stamina by winning at 2m 4f over hurdles and looks good enough to score here. Jamaar is 2lb lower than his last turf start, when well beaten at Folkestone, but has run with promise since on the all weather at Wolverhampton and is not without a chance if handling the ground. Arch Folly has at least proved he gets this trip, though he is very much a plodder at it, while Jolizero will appreciate the bit of cut in the ground and any further rain would enhance his chances, though he has never yet been tried over this far. But Dan's Heir has plenty going for him and can score.
