Verdict

Darryll Holland has been in excellent form on the all-weather tracks of late and the popular Mancunian will be hopeful of adding to his tally with Beat The Heat. The five-year-old has been a model of consistency over hurdles this winter and shaped most encouragingly on his return to the Flat when second in a similar event here late last month. The Jedd O'Keefe-trained gelding has nothing to fear from either Critical Stage or Inver Gold who both finished behind and look comfortably held on the revised ratings. Glory Quest is a most consistent and genuine performer but looks in the handicapper's grip at present while Mi Odds is another harshly treated on recent evidence but Exclusive Air goes best here and can be forgiven a below-par effort at Lingfield last time.
