        Verdict

        Dovedon Hero,Almizan and Court of Appeal are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Dovedon Hero. The selection has dropped to a handy mark goes well ,on the ground and looks a value bet in a wide open affair. Almizan rates there main danger on his latest third behind Richtee. He is sure to run his race but is hard to win with and at likely odds looks worth taking on. Court Of Appeal won a similar race in good style last time out but he now looks in the handicappers grip. Ramsgill was third behind Fortheight last time and is another with place claims but he looks weighted up to his best and in a race where stakes should be kept on the small side for the winner we return to Dovedon Hero.
