      Verdict

      This should not be the hardest race to win, and Sarin would have to be considered on his handicap debut. That said, his form is not inspiring and a better chance can be given to Colorado Falls, although he would almost certainly need more rain to win it. A chance, then, goes to Smarter Charter, despite being a few pounds out of the handicap. His win at Leicester a month ago reads well in a race like this and he should be thereabouts off a 6lb higher mark.
