        Verdict

        In Division One of low-grade but wide open handicap over seven furlongs Ejeed is respected after a course and distance success last time but given this looks marginally tougher we've gone for the potentially well treated GUILDENSTERN to end a losing streak with Headache also considered after a better run last time. The winner of this race last year the pick enters this renewal racing off the same mark. In the mean time he's gone well off higher ratings and although not in the best form there was a hint last time he might be heading back in the right direction so at the forecast prices he might be worth a nibble at. Ejeed took a basement class contest last time and was going away at the finish so could overcome a six pound mark rise to challenge. Headache is given a shout after his placed performance at Southwell last time and off a similar mark he could build on that. Angle Of Attack was expected to do better on his last start and while he's weighted to go close this surface isn't guaranteed to suit so in an extremely tight contest Guildenstern can win this race for the second year running.
