        Verdict

        Another competitive field goes to post for this handicap and the main protagonists look to be Ettrick Water, Baldour and Millagros and we will take a chance on Ettrick Weter. The four year old from the bang in form Luca Cumani yard won well last time out when defeating Lord Chamberlin and although she has risen in the weights for that win she will be hard to beat. Baldour rates the main danger he was a good second behind Master Robbie last time out in a falsely run race and if he gets an end to end gallop here he will be a danger to all. Malligros could also go well he won well last time out but this looks more competitive. Of the remainder Cherished Number could also go well but he ran as if in the handicappers grip last time out and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Nuit Sombre is also worthy of respect as he has dropped to a handy mark but are happy to side with the in form Ettrick Water.
