        Verdict

        Eleanor Eloise could be of interest first time in a handicap off 60 but preference is for Bens Gorgie who has a 3lb pull in the weights with Solicitude for a length defeat last time out. The selection ran well in defeat last time out when he was only reeled in late on. Whilst this may not be the easiest track to front-run on, he has run well here in the past and with Jim Crowley again in the saddle a big run is in the offing. Solicitude doesn't win as often as he should but got the head in front on that last run and needs respect despite a 3lb rise in the weights. Double Valentine is consistent but yet to win over this trip, whilst Alucica is a course and distance winner and needs a check in the betting returning from an absence. The Jailer ran well in defeat last time out whilst Eleanor Eloise is one to stay on the right side of if the money comes. An open heat then, in which Bens Georgie gets the nod.
