        Verdict

        Nobelix could be ahead of the handicapper and we will favour him vis-a-vis In The Lead and Aquilonia. James Fanshawe's charge ran a solid race in a competitive Newmarket handicap and while it is of some concern that he has not troubled the judge in six starts, his overall form profile is ultra-consistent and in receipt of significant weight from the others, we are prepared to take him on trust. In The Lead is probably at her optimum trip today. She does not look anything out of the ordinary but her stable are continuing in reasonable form. Aquilonia had showed a modicum of ability prior to her most recent start. That run at Newbury was too bad to be true and forgiving that, she would hold a claim. Prime Powered has dropped down the weights somewhat but still looks desperately out of form. Robbie Can Can has only just returned from a seasons absence and is watched in the market for any signs of life. Swainson has been described as another Joe Bear by his trainer last season. Unfortunately, his form this year has not reflected that. Nobelix is the bet for us.
