      Verdict

      Another competitive handicap greets us here and the shortlist contains GALLEGO, Ba Dreamflight and Gracechurch with the first mentioned getting the pick. The selection races off a mark three pounds lighter than his last winning one and although his form has been sketchy since there has been a hint he is rediscovering his best and he goes really well on this ground. Ba Dreamflight is below his last winning rating for the first time since taking that success in October. He managed well enough under those heavier burdens and is effective in these conditions. Gracechurch is a dual winner at this track and is suited by this trip. Recent efforts have been a little poor but he is entitled to go better here now back to a winning rating. Siena Star and Samurai Warrior probably have the best recent form but are climbing up the weights so we instead prefer Gallego.
