Verdict

George Scott's useful WEST ACRE looks to have got in quite lightly for his first venture into handicap company so gets the vote at the chief expense of Another Baar, who should find this return to 5f very much to his liking. In-form duo Rhythm N Hooves and Sturlasson can also have a say in this competitive sprint.
