        Verdict

        Stolt won comfortably enough last time to suggest a follow up victory could be in the offing but back at his best trip the vote goes the way of THE NIFTY FOX while Blue Tomato looks overpriced for place money. All of the selection's career victories have come over this trip and most in similar conditions. He put in a gallant display to just get caught late under a similar burden last time when taking on a furlong longer and he also has proven course form. Stolt is also a five furlong specialist and easily landed a similar event last time. As long as the word 'good' remains in the going description he should be fine however his six pounds penalty might just be telling. Blue Tomato is back to his last winning mark and should act on the ground so might represent some value for each-way punters while La Zamora could also go better than in recent starts now dropped in class. These sprint handicaps are always tricky so The Nifty Fox is just a percentage call.
