      Verdict

      The competitive nature of this contest sees just 3lb between the field on official ratings, although three-year-olds receive the age allowance. A case can be advanced for all but Tukhoom has topweight and a strike rate of 2-24, Keepup Kevin is two from two this term but prefers cut in the ground and there's nothing between Global Spirit and Esprit De Corps on recent running at the revised weights. Golden Force possibly needs to improve a level so the choice is REAL SMOOTH. The Hannon charge has posted good runner-up efforts in large-field handicaps the last twice when indicating that the move back up this 7f trip would elicit further improvement.
