      Verdict

      Recent winners Rainbow Bay and H Harrison will fight this one out with the vot going to the last named with Mulligan's Gold also entering calculations. The selection H Harrison was in winning form around here over one furlong shorter last time out and had been threatening to win for sometime. He did win a little handicap on the all weather when making all at Wolverhampton in March and came good again when racing prominantly last time out. He has only been penalised thee pounds for that victory and with conditions to suit and luck in running we feel he can follow up. Rainbow Bay carries a six pound penalty for his latest win here. Again he steps up to the seven which may not be ideal and life will prove tougher from now on. Mulligan's Gold could be a better prospect as he carries bottom weight and was not far behind Rainbow Bay in the same race at Catterick last time out so is worth noting in the betting market. But for the winner we return to H Harrison as the likely winner.
