        Verdict

        Taranaki is a specialist over this trip and has conditions in his favour so gets the TEAMtalk nod in a tricky contest. Peter Cundell's charge has been well placed to win three times already this term but remains on a fair mark and should go well at an each way price. What-A-Dancer will appreciate the return to this trip having found 6f an inadequate test last time and had the selection behind when second over this C&D last month. However, the five-year-old is extremely difficult to win with and may struggle to confirm the form on 6lb worse terms. Choto Mate holds Bon Ami on recent Sandown form but looks high enough in the weights at present but Definite Guest has claims on his recent fourth in a competitive Doncaster handicap and is now 2lb lower.
