      Verdict

      A very tricky little handicap for punters with questions to answer for each of the eight runners and we will tentatively suggest Expensive Art. Most of this lot look exposed, including the selection, and if you are to back him then you must forgive an abysmal effort when last over c&d last time out. A month or so off since then should have freshened him up and we can only hope he runs up to his best with trip and ground to suit. If he does he might just win it. Fellow c&d scorer Seta Pura would probably be the pick if the rains arrived, but that appears unlikely and on ground faster than good she is not an attractive betting proposition. Mr Wolf also has a c&d win to his name but has not scored for two years now and is clearly on the wane. Tawzeea is lightly raced but already looks in the grip of the assessor, and the same can be said of the others, of whom Dark Champion may emerge as the biggest danger now he has begun to drop in the weights. Not a race to be dogmatic about then and Expensive Art is suggested.
