        Verdict

        This is a very modest handicap and it is with not too much confidence that we select Beauchamp Trump, Arctic Cove and Marhaba Million would appear to be the main dangers. Gerard Butler's three-year-old is stepping back in distance having performed with credit over two miles plus. He can tend to run a bit freely and so if Dazzler elects to bowl, along in front he may prove hard to pass. Marhaba Million has run a couple of solid races recently over slightly shorter and must have a good chance here of reaching the frame. Arctic Cove has been well beaten in much stronger company and this ease in grade and step up in trip should be beneficial. Mrs Philip has to shoulder top-weight and has shown very little on the flat recently, however she did win a couple of hurdle races not too long ago and so is no forlorn hope here. However Beauchamp Trump looks to be the safest proposition in a very poor contest.
