A competitive handicap to solve here but Wisdom's Kiss was such an easy winner last week that it is hard to oppose James Bethell's charge. The front two home drew a long way clear of the remainder while the second did not leave the form down over the weekend with another solid run. Glenridding has climbed up the ratings in recent weeks and could now be in the grip of the handicapper. Willie Ever has achieved three victories over the course in recent weeks and is now 7lb higher than his last success which means theoretically there should be very little to choose between him and Trifti today. Prince Noel is a three time course winner who found the ground all against him at Haydock nine days ago. Carmenero is reverted to the mile trip once again but Wisdom's Kiss is the pick.
