      Verdict

      It is hard to get away from SIR ISAAC in this handicap and he is nominated over Inheritor and Spinners End. The selection is quickly turned out after running a race full of promise at Sandown on Friday when he chased home Yirga. He won't need to improve much to win this and with the stable in good form he looks a solid bet. Inheritor is the obvious alternative as he wasn't beaten far behind Kyllachy Star at York last time and that form was given a boost when Kyllachy Star won well at Sandown on Saturday. Spinners End ran well in a competitive handicap at Newbury last time and the yard continue in good form. However, he will need them to go a decent clip if he is to be seen at his best and he may not get the pace he requires in this small field. Peter's Gift will find this tougher than the race he won last time, and we will stick with Sir Isaac as our preferred option.
