      Verdict

      This looks a very competitive handicap, with several coming into the race in peak form. Sky Quest recorded his first victory at Yarmouth last time and has not been too harshly treated. the extra furlong should suit, and he may improve again. Knavesmire Omen is on a hat trick after a good win at Newmarket last time and seems sure to run well under his penalty, but preference just goes to Collier Hill. After winning at Ayr and Newcastle, his hat trick bid was just foiled by Hugs Dancer in the Cumberland Plate. A whole stack of winner shave come out of that race, he won't mind any rain and gets the nap vote to return to the winners enclosure here.
