        Verdict

        An ordinary handicap can go to top weight Canadian Danehill, who is preferred to Homme Dangereux and Grezie despite the burden at the weights. Overjoy Way is unexposed and is worth keeping tabs on for signs of each way support. Similar comments apply to Speedie Rossini, who has a few bills to pay after a couple of gambles went astray on him on the All Weather during the winter. However, he failed to beat a single horse home in two previous visits to Folkestone and now has a bit to prove. Grezie is unexposed on turf and has place claims on the pick of her form. However, a mile may be her optimum trip and she will need to post a much improved display today. Homme Dangereux ran his best race so far on his reappearance and shapes as if a race can be found for him somewhere along the line. He hails from a very shrewd yard and a close eye on the betting is recommended where he is concerned. However, Canadian Danehill deserves a change of fortune after several near misses of late and represents a more solid option today. Again the booking of Jonny Murtagh is a great help to his cause and, with proven form at the trip, Canadian Danehill has plenty in his favour to cope with top weight in this company.
