      Verdict

      A tight handicap with Manhattan Skyline and Strawberry Sorbet the only ones not to have won their latest outing, though the latter did go close at Kempton. Threebagsue landed a handicap over 7f here last time but is more exposed than the remainder who all made every yard to win their respective maidens. Hombre Rojo and Shypen scored at this venue but slight preference is for Chelmsford winner SILK GEM with Nathan Alison's allowance perhaps proving decisive once again.
