In depth
Verdict
Another tough handicap here for punters to fathom with many in form rivals in opposition including Anyhow,Cold Turkey and Pay The Silver and we will side with Anyhow. Karen George's charge won well last time out when defeating Made In Japan and although he has risen in the weights he won with a shade in hand and he could still be ahead of the handicapper. Cold Turkey rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Golden Heart but that was over a shorter trip and he has to prove he stays this far. Pay The Silver would have a chance on his best form but he ran as if in the handicappers grip when third behind Vin Du Pays so for that reason he is opposed. My Maite is a course winner that has dropped to a handy mark and is worth a look in the market while Compton Eclaire is well weighted on turf form but has disappointed on the Aw before so we will stick with Anyhow.
