      Verdict

      Local handler Bernard Llewellyn is mob-handed again in a race in which he’s trained the winner in three of the last four years. He had three runners last year but both Taste The Wine and Aaman were unplaced. Fuzzy Logic was only sixth 12 months earlier but FILATORE won a division of the race in 2013 and was placed twice over hurdles in March. He’s not getting any younger but could be worth an interest off a very low mark on his return to the Flat. Master Dancer will likely be favourite as he won over hurdles after completing a double on the Flat here in September. Veterans Riptide and Urban Space looks best of the rest ahead of Bath second Akavit.
