      Verdict

      Grand Entrance can win this handicap with Certain Justice and Sake both worth noting. The selection has improved since his two year old days and has run well on both starts this season. Most latterly when winning at Newmarket when beating Silent Applause two weeks ago. He looks well treated after that run and will take some beating here. Certain Justice will be his biggest rival after success at Leicester. That was an improved effort and he is only racing off a one pound higher mark here but this race does look tougher so he may find a couple too good. Sake looks within the grasp of the handicapper after wins at Newcastle and Beverley and looked exposed at York last time out so is one to treat with caution. So for the winner we return to Grand Entrance.
