Verdict

A very difficult handicap to work out and a sporting selection is Winthorpe, Paddywack and Divine Spirit may provide most danger. Amazingly Winthorpe hasn't won on the turf since 2003, but was successful earlier this year on the all-weather at Southwell. Recent efforts have suggested his turn could be near and from what looks a decent draw he could be worth a small wager. Paddywack has shown a real liking for this track and continues in good form. He once again will be hard to keep out of the money. Divine Spirit has been running much better than his form figures suggest and he could be each-way value. In a wide open affair Betsen and Trick Cyclist are two others in with a squeak, but we return to Winthorpe as our hopeful choice.
