Verdict

A weak handicap that should see Nadeszhda get off the mark first time out at the expense of recent winner Humdinger, topweight Panglossian and Phamedic. Sir Mark Prescott is a past-master at getting them ready to run out of their skins when stepping into handicap company, and off a mark of 53 she may have been let in lightly, her rating based on three quiet runs last year. Her main rivals are fully exposed, with Panglossian having to shoulder topweight despite not managing to get her head in front so far. A bigger danger may be Humdinger, who has progressed from sellers and claimers to winning a class E at Folkestone last week. Given a good ride by Chris Catlin, she now has Kevin Darley on board. Phamedic has been there or thereabouts at this level for some time and will no doubt pop in when least expected, but for now Nadeszhda is the one to concentrate on.
