Verdict
Persian Wolf, Alhaajeb and Spirituoso fought out the finish of a similar handicap last week and there's very little to separate them again. The winner had the best of the draw, as he does today, so may be able to confirm the form. DR PATRICK was beaten a neck by Spirituoso a fortnight ago when conceding 8lb so should just about reverse the form on today's revised terms and gets the nod. Evening Verse beat French Company half-a-length over 1m4f in February but the runner-up may prove better at this trip. Scarlet Seymour beat Alhaajeb by almost two lengths over track and trip in November and is better off at the weights so has to be on the shortlist.
