        Verdict

        Division Two of the 'Hands And Heels' handicap that opened the card looks just as open as the first and it could be that consistency will win the day and we think it might by siding with Milton Bradley's DANCING WELCOME ahead of the unexposed Divine Force while One More Round has place claims at a bigger price. Generally running well at the moment, including scoring on his penultimate start, the pick looks the only runner in this field displaying any consistent good form. He followed that win by finding just one too good off this mark so he should be capable of another good effort. Divine Force should be seen in a better light here with another couple of pounds removed from his back following one of his best runs in handicap company last time. He is still lightly raced so can show us more and any market support for him would be interesting. One More Round last won a handicap at this time last year and is now 19lbs lighter than when scoring that day so could get into at least a place in this company. Mocha Java is also considered under his current burden but Dancing Welcome has the most appealing profile and is the marginal call.
