Verdict
Hard To Handel hasn't won since landing a Windsor handicap last summer and though he's put in the occasional good performance and takes a big drop in class he's not one to take a short price about. DALEELAK was a 40/1 chance in a Yarmouth handicap last month but belied his odds with a fair effort and he gets enough weight from the likely favourite to be handed the vote. Highwayman ran his best race to date on Fibresand at Southwell in March and that could be his surface while Frivolous Prince has been beaten in sellers.
