        Verdict

        In a race that is maybe not as competitive as it might first look, Khanjar, Fine Palette, Prairie Wolf, Hip Hop Harry and Coup de Chance will all have their supporters but we will side with Prairie Wolf. Khanjar is lightly raced and open to improvement and his mark of 75 hardly seems excessive. That said, he has been a bit disappointing and Fine Palette has a more likeable profile. He looked green when scooting home on soft going at Lingfield last time and a handicap mark of 79 is hardly overburdening him, and his stable is now in much better form. Prairie Wolf is extremely well handicapped on his form of two years ago, form which stands out in what is not a strong handicap overall. Tight Squeeze has done well on the all-weather but needs to improve on the best of his Turf form, and better was clearly expected on Turf of Hip Hop Harry when he ran poorly at Newmarket last time after having shown up well in two all-weather runs before that. Finally, with a good rider claiming three pounds, Coup de Chance, even off topweight, looks competitively weighted in this 12-furlong affair. Overall, though, we just give the call to Prairie Wolf.
