      Verdict

      A competitive race with Strike Force, Just Dust and Tobosa being the main rivals with the vote going to the last named. Tobosa comes here with a six pound penalty after wins at Yarmouth and more recently at Newmarket and looks a horse on the up grade. He won off seventy seven in his first handicap so connections must feel he could be well treated still so is one to stay on the right side of. Just Dust has been in terrific form as well this season winning on four occasions. His last success at Goodwood was off seventy three and once again connections have decided to run with a penalty. He will find it tougher this time though and it will be a surprise if he can defy the handicapper once more. Strike Force is relatively unexposed with only two runs and one win. That came at Lingfield back in June and is open to further improvement and is one to watch in the market. But for the winner we return to Tobosa.
