        Verdict

        A typically competitive event to finish with. Doc Watson finally got his head in front, after several decent efforts, when landing, what it must be said, wasn't the strongest of maidens on the All-Weather. However, he doesn't look that well treated on this first venture into handicap company. Hoh Buzzard is another, who looks to face a stiff task on his handicap debut. The winner of a maiden at Nottingham, the bare form of that leaves him with something to find in this, along with Quintoto, who has to race off a 13lbs higher mark than when winning a moderate contest at Brighton. Almond Beach may improve for the step up in trip, but he will need to, while All-Weather winner Gracious Dancer, doesn't look harshly treated and if as effective on turf as he is on the sand, he could go well. Handicap debutante Smokin Barrels is respected. He is a half-brother to the useful Surprise Encounter, who improved as he got older and he was effective when he could hear his hooves rattle. However, a chance is taken with Island Rapture, who has already proven she can handle fast ground and that she has trained on from two to three. Amanda Perrett's filly isn't particularly well treated in having to give some useful colt's weight, but she is clearly on the upgrade and she is the choice to land a competitive heat.
