          Verdict

          It's a wide-open affair with Didn't Tell My Wife, Basinet, Merdiff, Dubai Dreams and Explode among a number to consider, but we'll opt for Duelling Banjos. This is a run-of-the-mill handicap and only three pounds separates the top from the bottom in the weights on official ratings. The selection won from a three-pound higher mark last season and acts on going with give in it, so has a chance based on that evidence. Turning to the others; Didn't Tell My wife, who won from a four-pound lower mark in July and will act on the going; Basinet has won from his current mark; Dubai Dreams has run well from higher marks; Lady Natilda could well improve for the step up in trip; Explode has gone well here in the past; and Lobos won well at Bath last time but has been raised ten pounds in the weights as a consequence. Add to this War Owl, who has a 499-day absence to overcome but could go well if fit; Fabrian, who won well at Newmarket in August but has been disappointing since; Shatin Hero, who comes here in good heart following a Newcastle run, and Mark Johnston's Phantom Flame, who has shown nothing this year but a return to his juvenile form would make him interesting and you get the idea that it's too tough a race about which to be dogmatic. With that in mind, we'll opt, once again, for Duelling Banjos.
