Verdict

JARVEYS PLATE has been impressive enough on his last couple of course starts to side with again here and while he's conceding 5lb to this field, it was a taking effort last time and it's the strongest form available here. Birchdale comes under the "could be anything" bracket at this stage in his career and showed plenty on Rules debut at Warwick while Brewin'upastorm should prove best of the remainder.
