      Verdict

      Pop Dancer won at Wolverhampton recently while Bonita B scored at the same track earlier in the week and both are penalised. Handytalk finished in front of So Smart and Kyber Crystal when runner-up at Ffos Las while Atty's Edge won this last year off a 3lb higher mark. Sporting Icon disappointed on his handicap debut but DOROTHEE may improve further now handicapping having returned an easy winner at Yarmouth and she gets the vote.
