        Verdict

        GRACEFUL DESCENT is taken to defy top weight to land this handicap at the main expense of Honimiere and Coral Shores. The selection has caught the eye on each of her last two starts this season finishing second each time. She was not beaten far here over a similar trip last time out and although she has been raised four pounds for her troubles if at her best she is sure to go close. Honimiere made all to land a fillies handicap at Carlisle last month but failed to follow up off a two pound higher mark thereafter. She is still only lightly raced and therefore she is open to further improvement. Coral Shores has won handicaps of marks of 54 and 61 this summer but was disappointing off a mark of 66 last time out at Lingfield. It does look as though the handicapper has him where he wants him for the time being so he should now be treated with caution. This looks like a trappy looking affair in which will return to Graceful Descent as the most likely winner.
