        Verdict

        Many in with chances in this handicap but can be narrowed down to Kaymich Perfecto, Elidor and What-A-Dancer with the vote going to the last named. What-A-Dancer landed a gamble at Musselburgh last time out beating Miss Whizz buy a length and a half. That was on a claimer but he does look more than capable of winning in this company. Kaymich Perfecto stayed on strongly to beat Topton at Redcar by a short head last time out and again has to be short listed here even off this higher mark. Elidor finished an eye catching third of nineteen over course and distance but this race looks just as tough if not tougher so she will have to improve further. So for the winner the tentative vote goes to What-A-Dancer.
