Verdict
Siesta, Danehill Kikin and Mr Forthright are shortlisted in this handicap and the narrow nomination is given to Siesta. The selection was a fair third behind Big Noise last time out. That horse has since run well under his penalty and with the drop in trip also in his favour he looks the one to be on. Danehill Kikin rates the main danger on his fifth behind Sandrey a couple of runs ago. He wont mind any rain and with his yard in form he should be closely watched in the market. Mr Forthright is another that could go well on his best form but he ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him last time and he is taken on with this in mind. Sharpattack is unexposed and could improve but he is untried on ground with cut in it. Soviet Sound is game and consistent but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Siesta.
