      Verdict

      Windjammer, Northern Dare and Davaye look the three to concentrate on in this trappy handicap and the narrow vote is given to Windjammer. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Rue Soleil and although having a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and under simi,ar conditions here he looks the one to be on. Northern Dare rates the main danger as he beat Scoccerjackpot last time out. However this looks more competitive and his overall profile leaves him with plenty to find. Davaye is another that could go well on his best form but he tends to need a couple of runs before he hits top form and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Temtation is game and consistent and is sure to run his race while the booking of Paul Hanagan for Beechside catches the eye and he is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Windjammer.
