Verdict
Five Out Of Five may prove to be too classy for this lot but he has to give away at least a stone to his rivals so a better bet might be TZORA with There's No Panic also in with a shout. Five Out Of Five looked quite smart when landing a couple of Novice events but there isn't too much form around to suggest he is thrown in at the weights on handicap debut. With that in mind a better case can be made for Tzora with the Phillip Hobbs trained runner is up a couple of lbs for a near miss last time. There's No Panic was a comfortable winner of a Plumpton Amateur riders event off a mark of 102 but was well held off this rating last time, which leaves a nagging doubt. Quaddick Lane still looks a little high in the handicap despite some lesser efforts recently so Tzora looks the safest option.
