      Verdict

      Formerly a useful chaser for Philip Hobbs, Mont Acca has been in decent form between the flags of late. Now in the care of Polly Curling he is certainly worthy of respect. Last years winner Ajar and the third Garethson, again cross swords, but they may have to settle for the places behind the useful, if somewhat quirky Miss O'Grady. A dual point winner, she turned in a fair effort when chasing home Caldamus at Wincanton recently and a reproduction of that effort may be good enough here.
