        Verdict

        A wide open handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on there best form but the principals look to be Ulysees,Legal Set, Viewforth and Musiotal and the narrow vote is given to Ulysees. The selection won well last time out when beating Bundy and although he has a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and he is taken to win again from what looks a good draw. Legal Set rates the main danger as he remains on a fair mark and was a fair third behind Wainright last time out. However he is best when allowed to dominate and that does not look likely here so he is passed over on this occasion. Viewforth is another worthy of respect on his best form but he is far from consistent so can not be put forward with any confidence. Musiotal was behind the selection last time but is weighted to get a lot closer here. However he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip last time and for that reason he is over looked. Of the remainder George The Best has dropped to a handy mark and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Ulysees.
