        Verdict

        A tough race to call here for punters with many in form rivals in opposition but the principals look to be King Nicholas, Wessex and Mister Benji and the tentative vote goes to King Nicholas. The selection was an unlucky in running third behind Aventura last time out and he remains on a fair mark and looks sure to have the race run to suit. Mister Benji rates the main danger on his latest second behind Pawn In Life but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him on that occasion and for that reason he is passed over. Wessex won well last time out when beating Air Mail but that was in a seller and this looks tougher so he will need to improve to score. Beauteous is another that could go well now that he returns to this surface but he looks to have plenty of weight. Of the remainder Game Guru is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to King Nicholas.
