      Verdict

      Take The Helm ran well again at Wolverhampton last time having won at the latter track before that but Threebagsue never threatened over a mile here recently after picking up a handicap over track and trip last month. The latter, however, is preferred to stablemate Manhattan Skyline but Cocoa Beach should be in the mix on the back of a debut success over 6f at Wolverhampton. CAPE SPEED also goes handicapping for the first time after making all to beat a subsequent winner at Chelmsford and Mark Johnston's colt may be worth sticking with in this.
