      Verdict

      Welcome Approach gets the vote in this tight handicap with Westport and Come Out Fighting rating the main dangers. #The selection was a good second behind Glasshoughton last time out, that form looks rock solid and under similar conditions her and off the same mark he will be hard to beat. Westport raters the main danger on his best form but he ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him when well beaten behind Tawaassol last time and is opposed for that reason. Come Out Fighting is another that could go well but he is another that looks weighted up to his best Grazeon Gold Blend has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he is becoming hard to win with while Soto is better with more cut in the ground and with this in mind for the winner we return to Welcome Approach.
