      Verdict

      AEROPLANE is taken to fly home in this handicap and he is given the confident vote over Bonus and Nezami. The selection is well-handicapped and he was given a peach of a ride by Hayley Turner when he beat Nezami at Lingfield last time. He needs to be produced late to win his races but he won with plenty in hand last time and he is taken to confirm superiority with Nezami this afternoon. Nezami does like to employ front-running tactics so his draw in stall 1 is a negative, although this track will suit his style of racing more than Lingfield did last time. Bonus is a course and distance winner and he wasn't beaten far behind Duff here last time out. If the blinkers work the oracle again today then he should be thereabouts at the finish. My Gacho will be suited by this drop in trip but he will need to find a bit more to win this and we will stick with Aeroplane to cruise to victory.
