        Verdict

        Guilsborough Gorse, Reflective Way and The Merry Mason are three against the field in a wide-open affair and the tentative vote goes to Guilsborough Gorse. The gelding from the Tim Walford yard has been point-to-pointing of late but has won his last two races in good style, and despite top weight, is taken to score again with conditions to suit. Reflective Way rates the main danger on his latest second behind Briar Rose but that was on much softer ground and for that reason he is opposed. The Merry Mason is well in on his best form but his strength is his stamina so this course is not sure to suit. Of the remainder, Middleway has been hurdling of late but he could go well if his jumping holds up. However, in a race full of imponderables we will side with Guilsborough Gorse.
