      In depth

      Verdict

      The veteran Treetops Hotel is given our vote to beat Pocket Too and Blue Hills. The booking of Neil Callan is significant while a drop to a BHA rating of 60 allows Reg Hollinshead's charge the chance to get his head back in front. While beaten in claiming company last time out, Treetops Hotel did meet interference in the closing stages and back in handicap company could just make his presence felt. Forcing tactics were applied when Pocket Too finished a respectable fourth in a competitive Kempton contest last week. Should similar tactics be once again applied, Pocket Too could make them all go under the in-form Kirsty Milczarek. Blue Hills is not getting any younger but a reproduction of the form that saw him victorious over the course in November could see him go close. Treetops Hotel the tentative choice over Pocket Too and Blue Hills.
