        Verdict

        A large field goes to post for this handicap but Incroyable is given the confident vote with Carrowdore & Bojangles rating the main dangers. The selection is one of the least exposed in the field won well last time when defeating Mambina and will appreciate this longer trip. He has conditions to suit and is impossible to oppose. Carrowdore rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Circassian last time and again has place claims but he still looks in the handicappers grip and for that reason he is opposed. Bojangles won well last time out when defeating Gustavo and is another with place claims but he will find this harder under his penalty. Burgundy is on a fair mark and could go well but he needs everything to fall right for him. Of the remainder Tass Heel is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Incroyable.
