      Verdict

      John Gosden's Bronze Cannon gets the vote in this handicap over Love Galore and Woolfall Treasure. The selection won over this course and distance last time when he beat a decent field, and as he was returning from a break that day he should come on plenty for the run. He should be able to take this contest before going on to better things. Love Galore is a lightly-raced colt and he was far from disgraced in a Listed race at Hamilton last time behind Captain Webb. He is open to further improvement and it would not be a surprise to see him go well. Woolfall Treasure won his maiden in decent style last time but it looked quite a weak contest and he has a lot more on his plate this afternoon. It will be a surprise if Bencoolen, Almoutaz and Better Hand are good enough and for the winner we will stick with the classy Bronze Cannon who can take gold here.
