          Verdict

          Passion Fruit gets the confident nomination in this handicap with Zhitomir, Benny The Bus and Tom Forest rated as the main dangers. The selection lost six lengths at the start at Thirsk last time but still managed to score by a neck defeating Zhitomir. That rival is better off at the weights today but if they get off on level terms today then Passion Fruit should be too good. Zhitomir will appreciate this ground and should be capable of going close, but Passion Fruit is preferred. Benny The Bus does have ability but he was a little disappointing last time at Wolverhampton and he looks opposable over this slightly longer trip. Tom Forest is interesting but he is unlikely to be suited by this soft surface and for the winner we will stick with Passion Fruit.
