    Verdict

    Only 4 runners go to post for this claimer and it looks a match-up between Waterside and Teasing with the vote given to Waterside. The selection was well beaten in a handicap at Lingfield last time but he is eased in grade here and at this level he should surely take all the beating. Teasing was dropped to this grade and she was not disgraced in second behind Danetime Lord last time. Her last win came in a handicap here in December so on the pick of her form she is an obvious contender. Tom Dascombe is a trainer who goes from strength to strength and his runner Desert Dreamer is another to factor in, although he did get the run of the race at Lingfield last time when he beat Millfield. It will be a surprise if Cyfrwys will be good enough, and we will return to Waterside to land the prize.
